Take Her She's Mine - Henry Koster - 1963

Cute. A bit of fluff really. Not the type of thing I usually go for but not bad anyway. Funny the way Jimmy Stewarts character is always being mistaken for Jimmy Stewart. The reason this film is significant is because of the scene where Stewart goes searching for his daughter at a folknik club called The Sleeping Pill that she has been playing in. He encounters the coffee house's resident poet, played by Bob Denver in a post Maynard, pre Gilligan period, who gives him some info about his daughter and attempts to recite his latest poem.

"Here's to the girl who steals a kiss and stays to steal another."

"There's no liquor in a coffee house sir. Most of those students bring it with 'em."

"Life, Death, and a Small Installment Due.
Kickingly, pantingly, squallingly.
outwardly thrusting in pain and shock and disbelief.
Hopingly, Graspingly, Aspiringly.
Impermanently permanent.
All interest cancelled.
Repossessed!
Howl, Hoooooowwwwlllll!"

Ban The Bomb!
