I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Pretty Good

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Just ridiculous as Shirley MacLaine mouths the words of the song which is the title of this absolutely asinine film. MacLaine sings the end of the song as the credits roll at the end and we are grateful that an ending has been reached.The best part of the film is the entourage of the stars of yesteryear who had supporting roles, Richard Deacon, Fred Clark, Harry Morgan, Wilfrid Hyde-White and others.Peter Ustinov as the bumbling mid-eastern King mumbles along and talks as if he is delivering a liturgy. Richard Crenna would have been better off if he displayed his Walter Denton accent from Our Miss Brooks. He is the spy who lands in Ustinov's land and is made to improve on the king's hopeless football team.With MacLaine along as the reporter, there are few laughs but plenty of nonsense.I just adored when Ustinov kept asking the Crenna character if he were Jewish. Ironically, Ustinov, who was Jewish in real life, sounds Jewish all the way, but the film is a complete farce.

Robert Morley once was asked why he was in so many garbage pictures. To wit he replied, "For the money dear boy". One has to ask how come Morley missed John Goldfarb, Please Come Home because if there ever was a "for the money" picture this was it for so many others. I doubt you will ever find as many talented people this side of the first Casino Royale film involved in such a disaster of a film. This is one unfunny Cold War satire with a rare laugh or two there. The laughs come at a bunch of people looking ridiculous.The title role is played by Richard Crenna who was then trying to get a career going on the big screen at the time. He plays Wrong Way Goldfarb who was a famous college halfback made famous for running the wrong way covering the field at a college bowl game.He hasn't improved his sense of direction any as he pilots his U-2 spy plane over the Middle East kingdom of Fawz and it comes down there with him taken alive. When King Peter Ustinov learns who he is he decides to keep Crenna and make him an offer to coach a football team he's organizing for his son. He's already built a football stadium in the middle of the desert. The son Patrick Adiarte was kicked out of Notre Dame and off the football team. Why didn't he just buy Notre Dame?This of course has set off a crisis in Washington because they want to get the plane back with Crenna as an afterthought. On the ground in Fawz is Shirley MacLaine as a reporter working a story she's gotten a whiff of. Maybe she smelled the script.I thought Peter Ustinov looked especially ridiculous speaking in gibberish throughout. I'd love to know how he got into this, did he really need the money?This one's a Cold War stinker.

This movie, by far, has the MOST HILARIOUS, funny, off-the-wall, slapstick football game EVER captured on film! Some people say that "The Longest Yard" has the funniest movie EVER in a film, and to them I say: "Just watch 'John Goldfarb, Please Come Home' and you'll change your mind." ("The Longest Yard" NEVER had LIVE camels and live elephants storm the field during a play, and football players jumping on each other's shoulders, 2 and 3 deep to snap a play!) Sure, it's a silly 1960's comedy, and isn't considered a classic (as classics go), but it SHOULD be! All the actors did a good job in it, too!Shirley McLain and Richard Crenna were excellent in their parts, and Peter Ustinov showed real prowess as a comic sultan king. Shirley was a reporter incognito in the king's harem when "Wrong Way Goldfarb" shows up.

Without doubt one of the worst movies ever made, and considering that the others up there in the top ten were all rank amateur efforts (like Ed Wood) and JOHN GOLDFARB, PLEASE COME HOME was a major studio release that's saying something. When I was a kid I used to go to just about every Shirly McLean picture from ARTISTS AND MODELS on. Her career had a few more star turns left in it before she became a character actress but any thought of Richard Crenna (of whom I was also a big fan) becoming a leading man stopped right here. The most notable thing about this stinker was that it engendered one of the great publicity coups of all time. Realizing that they had an unreleasable mess on their hands, Twentieth Century Fox somehow contrived to have football powerhouse the University of Notre Dame sue to keep John Goldfarb from being released. It became a cause celebre and when it did open three months later the houses were packed to see what all the fuss was about. What they found was infantile drivel. JOHN GOLDFARB reeks of being a 'good idea' and if one were to recount the plot it sounds like the basis for a funny comedy. A CIA U2 pilot (think Francis Gary Powers) comes down not in Russia but in Arabia. The king there is smarting because his son didn't make the football team at Notre Dame and inveigles the State Department, in exchange for returning the pilot and his plane, to make Notre Dame send their team to Arabia to play his son's pick up team. A great idea to develop after one too many bourbons along with the boys at a poker table but in the harsh light of day it should have been clear that there was no place to go in the development of the plot. Instead they pressed on and just did a lot of stupid things that people who have no sense of humor but remember stuff from other films think is funny. Since they were funny when they first saw them then they must just be funny in an absolute sense. I mean we've all seen Curly be magnificently funny in the Three Stooges films but would doing his act in a story driven comedy like this be funny? Since Peter Ustinov as the king acts like a drooling idiot from the start there's no where to go with that act. Don't believe that stuff that its merely political correctness that has caused this meretricious piece of crap to go around with a bell warning one and all that it is unclean, but the fact that it is like making Jell-o with sewer water that makes it unappetizing and odoriferous. But see it to see just how jaw droppingly unfunny a comedy can be.
