Teach a Man to Fish...
) 
I saw this movie first at age 11 and was really smitten by Paula Prentiss and her husky voice. That and the fact it was a comedy was enough for me. So I had ample reason to get the DVD and dust off my 40-plus year-old memories.
The premise is nothing new -- a man with his life on track gets derailed by the antics of a strange woman, pushed outside his comfort zone and deserted by his fiance (or is it fiancee? I never learned the difference.) If you liked "Bringing Up Baby" or "What's Up, Doc?" this is the same story. In fact, several sight gags and entire dialogues from BUB show up in this movie -- I think they call that "An Homage." But the fishing scenes are completely unique, and the ending is positively surreal for the time period. Watch this with your significant other, and be reminded together of how much you disrupted his/her life.
