Male of the Species Audience Reviews

TinsHeadline Touches You
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
aarron waite I had never heard of this one until a few months ago when Network announced they were releasing it. Hosted by Laurence Olivier it's a very simple yet compelling three part drama focused around Mary MacNeil. The first episode focuses on her relationship with her father (played by Sean Connery) who has a tendency to lie all the time. In the second Michael Caine plays an office Romeo who she tries to teach a lesson to for his ways but it backfires on her when she realises he isn't the slime-ball she thought he was and the third stars Paul Scofield in the role of a smooth talking barrister who manages to woo her.I see there are plenty or reviews on here from people wanting to see this again, well now they can thanks to this release from Network in the U.K.
judithbush I also saw Male of the Species once as a teenager and I have never forgotten the movie or how enchanted I was with Michael Caine. I remember it being funny, sad, and terribly romantic. I always wished I could have seen it again. If ever it is released on DVD, run to the nearest store and buy it. I know I will.
jean_farrell This is an excellent film. The cast does interact well with each other and though I was only 16 when I saw it, I have never forgotten it. I, too, would love to own this, but I'm glad that I've at least found others who know and love it as much as I do.
scheiman I believe the actress was British actress Jill Haworth, who briefly dated Paul McCartney of the Beatles. I too would love to own this title on VHS.Linda Scheimann
