Man's Favorite Sport?

Man's Favorite Sport? (1964) — watch online on iFILM — is Howard Hawks's screwball comedy starring Rock Hudson as Roger Willoughby, a celebrated fishing authority who has built his entire career on one inconvenient fact: he has never actually fished.

Roger's comfortable bluff collapses when Abby, played with relentless energy by Paula Prentiss, signs him up for a fishing tournament he has no way to duck. Every attempt to fake his way through the weekend ends in a bigger disaster than the last. Hawks keeps the pressure building and the physical gags sharp — this is a late entry in the classic Hollywood comedy-of-errors tradition, and Hudson's straight-faced panic sells every scene.
