Studio: Alpha Video
Product Type: DVD

Description

Charming photographer Bill Shelby (David Niven) is attracted to bestselling author Dorinda Hatch the minute he walks through her front door to shoot her for the cover of a national magazine. Shocked to find such a young and beautiful female behind her cynical book about the "dangers" of men, Bill is not sure how to pursue her.Exhausting all of his masculine tricks to soften Dorinda's unromantic ways, he finally gives up and turns to another woman. The tables are turned for Dorinda when Bill discovers that jealousy is the secret to her affections.The list of David Niven's famous performances is impressive, including Wuthering Heights (1939), Stairway To Heaven (1946), The Prisoner Of Zenda (1937), Gunga Din (1939), Dodsworth (1936), Mutiny On The Bounty (1935) and many others. The Lady Says No is one of his lesser known films which also features Francis Bavier ("The Andy Griffith Show"'s much-loved Aunt Bee) as Dorinda's quietly domineering Aunt Alice.

Customer Reviews:

a BIG AND LONG movie.......2007-02-11

Don't you dare believe the low star reviews!! This is an excellent movie, although somewhat outdated. It seems to be a template for many man hating movies to come. Niven and Caulfield are great comedy actors, and work well together. You won't find anything this good nowadays!! Get it!

Bad Movie All Around!.......2005-09-14

This movie never should have been made it's an embarassment to a great actor and the actress was absolutely horrible. I wouldn't give this movie to an enemy.

FEMINIST AUTHOR LEARNS SOME NEW TRICKS........2005-03-09

Producer Frank Ross makes his only effort at directing with this feathery comedy, a vanity piece for his wife Joan Caulfield, wherein the lovely and customarily demure actress displays a widened working range disparate from her normal personae, playing here as Dorinda Hatch, feminist author of an anti-male best-seller who becomes unsettled when a rakish photographer for Life Magazine, Bill Shelby (David Niven), attempts to woo her through a sly method of blackmail. During a picture taking session for the periodical Dorinda does some mugging designed to put the impudent Shelby in his place, but the latter turns the tables on her by using a daft face made by the writer as the proof for an upcoming Life cover, refusing to give the negative to her unless she allows him to kiss her, an act leading to romantic complications that raise doubts as to the sincerity of Dorinda's feminist beliefs. The work has a simple storyline, with some fatuous scenes of slapstick, but roles are well-performed by all members of the cast, despite a great deal of predictability in the dialogue, Caulfield earning the acting laurels as she and Niven luff toward each other in romantic folly, and there are skillful turns from Henry Jones and Lenore Lonergan as a comedic still in love, although not without conflict. The action moves briskly with nary a break and producer/director Ross has assembled top-tier technicians to showcase Caulfield, among them James Wong Howe, cinematographer and Orry-Kelly, costumer, in addition to production designer Perry Ferguson, and a terrific score is contributed by Arthur Lange to cap off this pleasant and humourous soufflé.
