November 18 movie: Man's Favorite Sport? This is one of those hostile romantic comedies from the early 60s. Rock Hudson plays a fishing expert who works for Abercrombie & Fitch. Apparently before it was the place for half-naked gay college students, it was the place for fully clothed gay fishing experts. Paula Prentiss plays the promotions director for a fishing tournament who strong-arms Hudson into competing. Trouble is, he's a fraud who doesn't know how to fish! Dum-dum! Also there's a guy working for the tournament who pretends to be a Native American by acting out the worst stereotypes imaginable. This movie was very not funny. About the only thing I can compliment is the opening credits.
