Sinopsis(1)
Howard Bannister es un joven y tímido investigador musical que acude a una convención en San Francisco con su novia Eunice para poder conseguir una beca y seguir investigando las propiedades musicales de las rocas ígneas. Su presencia allí no pasa desapercibida para su alocada colega Judy Maxwell, una joven siempre ligada a problemas allá donde vaya, y que hace vivir a Bannister una serie de situaciones disparatadas hasta convertir su estancia en el hotel en un auténtico desastre. Al mismo tiempo, se produce una extraña casualidad cuando cuatro maletas idénticas comienzan a circular por el hotel Bristol. La primera de ellas contiene las ropas de Judy, y es confundida con la de Bannister, que contiene sus rocas, pero a su vez, éste la intercambia con una maleta cargada de diamantes y joyas, y que termina siendo también confundida con otra llena de documentos robados con información secreta. Tras una alocada carrera por las calles de de San Francisco, el disparatado enredo termina en la sala de un juzgado donde Judy ya es demasiado conocida. (Movistar+)
(más)Reseñas (2)
Old-timey comedy based on Bogdanovich with Barbra Streisand in the style of screwball 1930s and 1940s combined with Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. Swapping suitcases, a wrecked hotel room, a half-naked protagonist on a window ledge, a crazy chase, and a lawsuit at the end. Everything is familiar, has been seen many times, and it’s just reinterpreted in a 70s style with great exteriors highlighting the beauty of San Francisco. Loosely based on the novel "A Glimpse of Tiger" (1971) by Herman Raucher.

Bogdanovich's 20 years younger Noises Off... is even more sophisticated and funny in my opinion, but to give What's Up, Doc? less than full stars would be unfair, given the laugh outbursts. The story is beautifully goofy, the swapping of suitcases so perfect that the next time I watch it, I'll have to make notes on a piece of paper to know who actually wants which one and whose is where. Interestingly, what I enjoyed far more than Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal was the amazing panopticon of supporting characters - from the poor guy dragging a bag of golf clubs to the hotel manager to the man carrying the glass and the amazing judge. The DVD also features the oft-mentioned dubbing with Viktor Preiss and Taťjana Medvecká.
