Just You And Me, Kid

To me this is an old fashioned mid range budget film that had a solid cast, good humor, and nothing really tawdry (although you see the backside of miss Brooke's stunt-double). It the kind of film that they used to make a great deal, but seems to have fallen by the way side. For all the runaways from broken homes with parents who fell into vices, this film is for you.The impeccable George Burns carries the film with his usual understated witty performance, and when things come to a head. And with all star Vaudevillian support cast of Hollywood greats, the film really shines.The film style is pretty basic. No overly artistic shots, not CGI, no digital inserts, none of the stuff that's become the trend in today's hyper film making atmosphere, as well as no real social psychology message, just a story that itself is the message without the benefit (or curse) of the studio marketing psychologists.And that's refreshing, because had this film been made today, then Brooke's character would have been droning on about how hard her life was. Burns' character would have been a burnt out humorless case. We would have had a lot of "sky cam" wire work, CGI stunt cars, and the one SFX in this film would have been green-screened to death. Fortunately this film was made a couple of decades ago.Give it a shot and see what you think.Enjoy.

A good clean fun movie. Good family movie.

I am used to HD but was very happy with the quality of this dvd.

great movie with a terrific cast. a great vaudeville magic hyjinks scene

I have looked for YEARS for this movie. So glad it is available. Lovely story and lots of fun.

A classic movie. Didn’t think I could find it. Thanks to Amazon I was able to purchase it.Thank you Amazon your the best.

I really enjoyed this movie when I first saw it. I didn't get to see it in 1979 in the theater. I saw it on TV but found it delightfully enjoyable about a runaway on the lamb from a drug dealer then turns up in George Burns's car. In the trunk. Naked. Then the real fun begins. Don't turn away from this movie. Buy it and watch it. It is adorable. It's cute. It's funny.

OK, this is not a great movie. Brooke Shields is cute but can't even vaguely do "tough." The chief charm of the movie - and I've been looking for this one for a while - is watching George Burns. He does wonderful stand up and vaudeville pieces that fall completely flat with his audience - which rather adds to their charm. He says some very insightful things about age and watching the world move past you. This is a good Sunday afternoon film.
