Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

andrabem As some people would say, this is good film for a rainy night, but I don't understand all the rave reviews about it."Make Mine Mink" looks like an episode of a television series where the same cast is used in different histories. I think that for really enjoying this kind of film it helps being familiar with the actors (and their former/later works). For instance, a reviewer had a lot of fun in seeing "a stunning, long-haired blond, high-heeled Hattie Jacques" and another reviewer says "Terry-Thomas is cast out of his usual flash, boisterous role as the rather timid Major Rayne" and so on.There's also the cultural/national factor. British humor can be difficult to understand in other countries. In my case, I like the sophisticated British humor that is present in many films, even in those that could not be labeled as comedy. "The Servant", for instance, presents a more sarcastic, cruel humor, that I appreciate as well.But "Make Mine Mink" belongs to the category of television humor, not quite so refined. It has a good story, with a strong theatrical flavor, very dependent on the charisma of the actors (so beloved by the audience, as the reviews prove). Anyway, one can feel that the actors are at ease and are given opportunities to improvise.All in all, "Make Mine Kink" is a mildly funny film but no more than that.

howard-30 Just saw it on TCM. It was much funnier than I expected. It is unusual for a slapstick comedy to have so much sympathy for the characters. You really get to like them. Even the love interest is well done. Its well worth watching. Terry Thomas is superb. As good as I remembered him from my misspent youth. The three women who worked with him were also very good. I didn't remember any of them but will look for them in the future. It is a shame that the wondrous tradition of British comedies disappeared. From Guiness to Sellars to Margaret Rutherford. The Remake of The Ladykillers proved just how good they were. It is amazing how even a fine actor like Tom Hanks was unable to match the quality of the original movie.

rpowell-4 This is a real period piece (circa 1960) which hasn't aged as well as some of its contemporaries (eg its companion pieces Too Many Crooks and The Naked Truth).It has a splendid cast (the "gang" are all female apart from Terry-Thomas at his peak) and they act their socks off. But their immense and varied talent - both Hattie Jacques and Billie Whitelaw have major roles - have to contend with a script which must have seemed a little too contrived even at the time, and which now looks as if it came from another planet. It's of course practically a given these days that Ealing and its counterparts were mildly subversive of the established order. But for a group of down-at-heel members of the upper-middle class to fund orphanages by stealing fur coats? Is there a satirical subtext here? Did the jokes seem funny at the time?As I say, the performances are to be admired, as is the hidden or even subconscious feminist agenda, but I found it mildly bewildering - and this is the world I was born into. Perhaps we need a radical remake.

uszoni2003 A n early 60's British "caper" film, that never fails to make me laugh, whenever I get the rare pleasure of seeing it.Tery Thomas, and a cast comprised of mostly (hysterical) old women plot to rob a bank.Where most movies today are not character driven, this little slice of silliness shows the care that was once put into film, even in what would've been considered a "B'" film.The comedy here is verbal, a little bit slapstick, and as such a lot will pass you by if you don't pay attention. One of my favorite little jokes involves a rather bosomy mature woman (who is quite obviously a lesbian, but being as this is the early '60's, and also being England), it is alluded too, rather than spoken. Her "job" is to "teach" young debs(?) how to act like a lady.At one point one of her "pupils" leaves her "lesson," and the look she gets from the "teacher" is hysterical. You know exactly what she's thinking. Very few comedians excel at making you laugh simply with a look (only two that come to mind are Lucille Ball and Molly Sugden- from Are You Being Served?).The whole movie, which is relatively short will leave you with a smile on your face, and fond recollections, which after all - isn't that what a good movie should do?
