Directed by George Axelrod
USA 1966
|
Directed, produced and co-written by veteran screenwriter George Axelrod, the acclaimed writer of The Seven Year Itch, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Manchurian Candidate and The Holcroft Covenant, comes this classic satirical comedy starring Roddy McDowall (Fright Night), Tuesday Weld (Pretty Poison), Lola Albright (The Way West), Ruth Gordon (Harold and Maude) and Harvey Korman (Blazing Saddles). You can’t always get what you want... unless, of course, you’ve got Alan Musgrave (McDowall) on your side! With a special gift for manipulating the outcome of any situation, the high-minded high schooler sets out to help beautiful new girl on campus Barbara Anne (Weld). Trouble is, Barbara Anne wants everything, and Alan’s “help” is making a mess out of everyone’s lives—including hers! Featuring outstanding performances by the whole cast, Lord Love a Duck is a hilarious satire on teen excesses. Beautifully shot in striking black-and-white by the great Daniel L. Fapp (One, Two, Three) with a memorable score by Neal Hefti (Duel at Diablo). *** Why the picture is called "Lord Love a Duck" is anyone's guess. The closest this observer can come is to blame it on Roddy McDowall, who croaks and quacks. He is a bright but addled senior at Los Angeles' new Consolidated High School, who takes delight in minding other people's business, especially romantic business concerning blonde, pretty Tuesday Weld.In the course of his Machiavellian assists he sees to it that her dad, estranged from her mother, played by Lola Albright, buys his daughter 13 fancy sweaters. He also arranges that she becomes the most popular of her bikini-clad, sexy classmates at a beach party, and meets and marries rich Martin West.He also aids in getting her a secretary's assignment with the prissy principal and, finally, disposes of her mate and lands her the leading role in the ultimate beach picture, "Bikini Widow," her young life's dream.

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (16-bit) in the
original English language. There is plenty of beach dance music and a
reasonably subte score by Neal Hefti (Duel
at Diablo,
Boeing, Boeing,
How to Murder Your Wife,
A New Leaf, and many TV credits ex.
Batman), this includes 'The Wild Ones' performing the titular
Lord Love a Duck theme song which often sets the tone of absurd,
quirky, carefree fun. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
George Axelrod's Lord Love a Duck
is satirizing a few things beyond the 'beach teen' genre of films. It
speaks to relationships, survival, acceptance and has Miss Tuesday Weld
looking as photogenic as any girl has the right to. Roddy plays a
loose canon genius of a blossoming adult - battling his maturity and
position in the world. He sees through a lot of the surface values of
life. It's a far better film than I was giving it credit for before
watching the Kino Blu-ray.
I think many may also enjoy this beyond a simple surface comedy.
