Frank Sinatra spends most of his time in <i>Come Blow Your Horn</i> looking like he's waiting for director Bud Yorkin to infuse some inspiration into the film. Sinatra doesn't get his wish, but he works like an old pro in this Neil Simon comedy about a playboy getting pressure from his conservative, Jewish father (Lee J. Cobb) while simultaneously feeling threatened by the man-on-the-make moves of his competitive younger brother (Tony Bill). The film is fun and everyone in it is fine, but the production lacks the snap it ought to have. Sinatra seems especially good-natured in scenes where the cocky Bill treats him like yesterday's papers. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews This is one of the few movies I distinctly recall going to see with my family as a kid. I could tell you exactly where we went, et cetera. That memory being so vivid tells me that this movie was fun for the whole family or I would not recall it so vividly. Overall most Sinatra's movies are pretty good. This one he makes a believable playboy with the part of his concerned father played expertly by Lee J. Cobb. The whole movie is pretty lighthearted stuff and one most families can laugh at still today. Certain chords struck about young men acting like playboys and their parents concern for them settling down will likely never go out of style.
