Editorial Review: Description: Bob Hope leads an all-star castincluding Frankie Avalon (Beach Party), Tuesday Weld (Bachelor Flat) and Dina Merrill (Operation Petticoat)in this deliriously funny comedy about a beleaguered dad and his ocean-hopping attempt to keep his teenage daughter from marrying! Bob Holcomb (Hope) will do anything to stop his daughter JoJo (Weld) from tying the knot withher lazy boyfriend (Avalon), even move her all the way to Sweden! But once they're "safely" out of the country, JoJo falls for a sly Swedish playboy. Content with a new love of his own (Merrill) and faced with the prospect of more heartbreak for JoJo, Bob makes secret plans for another international trip one that should make everyone happy.

 Rating:  - Paula Giokaris showcaseI can only imagine what Swedish people made of this movie way back when but anyone who watched it in the US must have had the urge to go there, for the amazing cinematography shows us a land without a single flaw--well, maybe some of the architecture looks a little bland. Jeremy Slate (as Erik, the Swedish lothario) is driving Tuesday Weld (as JoJo, the American surfer girl) on a tour of Stockholm in a bright red Volkswagen, pointing out all the scenic sights, and he says, "And there is our Royal ...

A GREAT SATURDAY IN MOVIE. Rating:  - Bob Hope Learns About Love the Swedish Way in Cute 1960's ComedyWhile it would never be considered anywhere near the best comedy Bob Hope ever made "I'll Take Sweden", has it's own quaint charm coming as it does from a much more innocent age in movie making.

Rating:  - Pretty BadI got this DVD because I am Swedish and it seemed like it could be a fun comedy from the mid-60s. While it does have a few funny moments, boy is it bad! I can't decide what was worst: the very dated plot, the overacting, the literally laughable special effects, or the worst Swedish I have ever heard! I also can't figure out why anyone went to the trouble of releasing this turkey on DVD. Avoid this DVD. Browse for similar items by category:
