The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist (1962)
Season 2, Episode 16
10/10
A visiting manicurist
28 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
One of my all time favorite episodes, purely because of Barbara Eden. She comes to town and Andy begins to think that she has developed feelings for him. At one point, Andy talks to her and says something to the effect of "the Lord has been good to you, very, very good to you. In fact, I don't know when I've seen the Lord spend so much time on one person". I might have the quote a little wrong, but it captures the thought.

Of course, it turns out that Barbara Eden was escaping her home town and her boyfriend to get time to think. In the end, she decided to return to her fiancé and get married.

This was the first time I saw her and she was stunning. Somehow her figure had more impact than when she later wore the genie outfit tho on a par with her appearance in "The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao".

Burglar (1987)
A comedy where the actors, situations and lines outshine the limp plot.
16 June 2002
Burglar is one of the movies on my top 50 funniest movie list. Unlike other reviews here, I rate it higher than Jumping Jack Flash. Perhaps its because this is a great movie for Bobcat's normally irritating character. Strange that there are no quotes for this movie! She and Bobcat have some truly great (although obscene) lines. Whoopie's scene in the closet while the soon-to-be-murdered character was screwing his ex-wife is hilarious. Bobcat has great scenes in the bar delivering a package, and later being interrogated John Goodman in the police station. The actors are all 2-dimensional but that only feeds the comedic aspects of the interaction of the stereotypes. The police-proofed apartment that Whoopie owns is a scream.
