Default Houseboat (1958)

First up to yellow_fever_01. I've had a look about, but can find no videos of the American sitcom The Good Life (1971) about anywhere, so apologies for that. I'll keep it in mind in case I ever come across it, though.

Now to the video, and this is another one that involves the ample charms of Sophia Loren. She came to Hollywood in 1957, where she was cast in The Pride and the Passion with Cary Grant, who promptly fell in love with her, and was responsible for her being cast in the film Houseboat a year later. She plays a singer who runs away from her father and ends up nannying widower Cary Grant's children to get away from him. They all end up on a houseboat after the family home gets hit by a train (long story), and naturally tongues wag from Grant's pals about a young woman living on the boat with him. In this clip a few of his pals come for dinner, where one chap, on seeing Loren serving the food declares to his wife "Eleanor, we are going to have to get rid of Sadie the scrubber. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a maid!" and promptly slaps her backside. It makes a lovely sound, but equally good is Loren's response. "There are those who require alcohol to give them courage," she tells him. "I am not one of them," before throwing his drink in his face. "Is it (the drink) dry enough?" she quips before storming off. As he looks stunned, his wife closes his gaping mouth and tells him "You'll think of an answer in the morning, dear."
