Good Neighbor Sam
Updated: Sep 16, 2020
Hello!
It's been a while...and this year has been nuts! But, I plan on getting everything back to normal and posting regularly. I hope everyone is well...here we go!...
I'm beginning with a look at the film "Good Neighbor Sam" starring Jack Lemmon, Romy Schneider and Dorothy Provine

The premise of the movie is that Sam (Jack Lemmon) helps a family friend (Romy Schneider) out by posing as her husband so that she can inherit a substantial sum of money. While this is all going on, his work (he works at an ad agency) needs a good, clean couple for an ad campaign and they choose him and his "fake" wife, not his real wife (Dorothy Provine)... so, chaos ensues.
It's one of my favorite films (I have many) and it has some great Mid Mod Flair in it...let's take a look...


The house they own is a sweet 1940s ranch home and the location is somewhere in Tarzana even though the film takes place in San Francisco.

And look at the backyard exterior...although this is a set.

Here are a few interior shots:



Their kitchen is fun, and the character Minerva (Minni) cooks with Belgian DescoWare!
The favorite cookware of Julia Child (by the way).
There's a fun cocktail and dancing scene as well!
The costumes!




I love the hairstyles! Romy's color is what I strive for!

What style! What Mid Mod Flair! It's such a fun movie...go check it out!
