Fitzwilly- lovely film! (by bugmouthga) |
First, let me just point out to one reviewer bop pop, or something like that that Fitzwilly is NOT a Disney film, so if you find it immoral, well, don't blame them.Secondly, it IS just a movie, and considering some of the horrible junk that has been brought out by Hollywood over the years- some of which was intended for children, some not- it's hard to even think of this charming, little film as immoral, disgusting or anything else.I initially sought out this movie- and bought it before seeing it- simply because I'm a huge "Get Smart" fan, and therefore, adore Barbara <more> |
years ago the very privileged lived the way we still do... (by Lady Jasmine) |
Fitzwilly without a doubt is one of the BEST Dick Van Dyke movies ever made. It is sleek, elegant and has a sophisticated brand of comedy that has become an almost extinct breed. The story moves along at a fast clip, with just enough suspense that you wonder what will happen next at the same time you are laughing hysterically and a touching romance to boot! Although kids could watch this movie and get some laughs out of the few sight gags, it's unlikely that many would understand the more subtle dry humour that reigns throughout; still this is a movie that can be watched and enjoyed by <more> |
An overlooked Christmas movie (by Pfunn) |
When people ask me my favorite Christmas movies, I include "White Christmas," the George C. Scott "Christmas Carol" and "Fitzwilly." The latter film usually brings a perplexed response. In fact, much of the film takes place during the holidays, and the climax if I remember correctly , occurs on Christmas Eve. This film has been a favorite since my childhood, and I'm disappointed that it doesn't get more TV airings during the holiday season. |
Fitzwilly is an undiscovered gem (by mcrone) |
It was great to see Fitzwilly again last nite on cable. I saw the movie when it came out and liked it, yet it received no accolades or attention whatsoever. I remember being pleasantly surprised by the movie and the performances of Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Feldon. They had been regarded by me as lightweights who would forever appear in silly kids' shows or dumb sitcoms. Wrong on both counts for both actors. Fitzwilly also is interesting for the all-star lineup of the best character actors of that day in every supporting role from top to bottom. I hope this movie will continue to be <more> |
An interesting lighthearted movie, well worth watching (by milltown) |
I first watched this movie just before Christmas 1994 and have seen it at least once a month since. To me it is a movie that is simple and pleasant,not violent or extreme, with few if any underlying themes/agenda, there are too many movies that concentrate on the spectacular, which are fine if you wish to watch stunt or body doubles for 50% of the show. Dick Van Dyke's character "Fitzwillie" is a gangster, as are the rest of his team in the best possible way , he only deceives those that can afford to loose ensuring that his "surrogate Mother" lives the life to which <more> |
Used to be a Christmas classic (by John-McGrew-miscellaneou) |
For reasons you will discover when watching the film, this used to be shown every Christmas on TV. I think the word which perhaps describes it best is, "cute". If you enjoy other lighthearted 60's comedies, you should like this one also. It's a shame this is still available only on VHS pan-and-scan, but it doesn't distract from the plotI noticed Turner Classic Movies is showing it Dec. 22, 2005. Perhaps they show it every year, I don't know. So if you want to see it in its original wide screen version, all you need is basic cable. Otherwise, you're stuck with <more> |
Thieving for generosity's sake is an odd Christmas theme.. (by AlsExGal) |
But that is the theme of this most unusual Christmas movie that is a Christmas movie more because of the spirit of the thing than the time of year in which it is set.Dick Van Dyke, in probably his best screen role, plays Claude R. Fitzwilliam, Fitzwilly for short, butler to Miss Vicky Edith Evans . He is head of the household servants and they all act as thieves for him, running a series of con games and out and out brazen thefts all so that their beloved employer Miss Vicky will think that she is still wealthy and can live out the rest of her life in the manner to which she is accustomed. <more> |
Fun sixties romp (by jimyoung-44815) |
This is a fun movie with a really good cast. Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Feldon have good chemistry and while the modern day Robin Hood tale is preposterous you'll want to believe it. Poor Gimbels. Ps: Norman Fell is excellent as the nervous accountant and there are lots of great little character parts. Must be one of Sam Waterston's first films. All in all an enjoyable Christmas film our family loves to watch year after year! |
