Watch Under the Yum-Yum Tree For Free

That was an excellent one.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I am one of those frequenters to Visit here in "IMDb.COM" to repeatedly return here over and over, to read other folks opinions, views and reviews of their Movie Going Experiences.I would love to see a place in the IMDb REVIEWS Section given over to the following Information...1/ Did the Reviewer actually "See" the Movie on it's Original Theatrical RELEASE DATE ? 2/ Was the Movie experienced in a Movie Theatre, or was it experienced on Home Video? I believe that there is a Definite relevance & significance to the responses gained from knowing the ANSWERS to these Two Questions. What has this anything to do with the MOTION PICTURE Released in 1963, known as "UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE" with Jack Lemon and Cast? Plenty.. My being born in 1946, I was 17 years old in 1963. I got to see this film in an "ATMOSPHERIC Cinema" check out on the www... to find out what an "ATMOSPHERIC CINEMA" consisted of ...In this very "ATMOSPHERIC CINEMA" it was there, only Three Years later that I would be found working in the "Projection Room" of that Very same Theatre, I did not know that at that time, -as I was still in High School- In the Year of 1963, filmed Adult material was in short supply, and Movies were being altered gradually from very prudish story-telling and just venturing into territory where it had previously been prevented and forbidden since the years 1933/1935 by the ENFORCEMENT OF "THE Hollywood PRODUCTION CODE"!!! Le us not forget, that in 1959 we had "PILLOW TALK" with Doris Day and Rock Hudson which was a Ground-Breaking Comedy for it's time... Then we come to 1963 with "UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE" in the Glorious Technicolor process, a film Technology that would be deliberately phased out over the next couple of years, due to the Costs involved in Producing TECHNICOLOR MOTION PICTURES, more is the pity."... Yum Yum Tree", was about a mature-aged male ogling young women, and offering a relatively safe male fantasy for the guys in the cinema going audiences of 1963, we had not seen such characters portrayed on screen before. I can recall the beautiful Color of the Film, Carol Lynley's character portrayal of a Young Girl who could handle herself well from the ever advancing approaches of her lecherous Landlord played by Jack Lemmon ...who had generally played in Film comedies throughout the 1950's, at that screening in 1963, I found myself laughing at the antics and of the verbal sparring & repartee between Dean Jones and Jack Lemmon. It was a film made for it's time in "Hollywood History" and NOT a movie made for 2017 AUDIENCES, of present day audiences who kid themselves, believing that they know MUCH BETTER and looking from the present Vantage point of looking back to a time, that they cannot remotely hope to relate to, as they have no reference point from which to operate from, as they did not live in that ERA back in the early 1960's. Now that I am at the age of 71+ (plus) when I read reviews here on IMDb, when I read middling or negative comments, I am pretty sure I can discern who actually has Experienced the MOVIE being reviewed at the time of the Picture's Original Theatrical Release date, and someone who has only recently seen something for the Very FIRST TIME being "DECADES AFTER" and since the Original Release... We cannot alter the past, we have indeed lost a great many things over the intervening years, and a Number of the things that I most regret losing, looking back, is common Courtesy and Respect & Decency...These things are what this Present Era Lacks in, Just look around us...

Jack Lemmon and Carol Linley deserve much better than this horrid garbage. Where do I begin? The music by DeVol underscores the lechery of the script, with little flourishes on the "Charge!" theme every time one of the males attempts to seduce a female. Ick. Jack Lemmon's machine gun delivery does speed up the film, but it's wearying. At 32, Dean Jones is a little too old for the college sap part: My attention wandered between his toupeé and Edie Adams' hair helmet. And Carol Linley, whose adorable figure is usually completely obscured by lousy costumes, manages to look perky and sweet despite the stupidity of her role. You should avoid this one; it's pure Junior High School boy material.

It could be argued that this paper thin sex comedy aspires to recall Billy Wilder's work (and the casting of Jack Lemmon may very well bear that thought out), but it's really closer to other glossy '60s romps like LOVER COME BACK and MOVE OVER DARLING. Lemmon's terrific as an apartment house landlord who fancies himself a real ladies man...actually, he likes them coed young! His latest prey is Carol Lynley, who's engaged to Dean Jones. Shenanighans ensue! It's silly, at times stupid, but still fairly engaging. The cast is fun with Lemmon having a particularly good time. Edie Adams appears as Lynley's aunt and Paul Lynde plays a very envious super...with a wife named Dorkus(!?!). She's played by none other than Imogene Coca. This is one of several comedies Lemmon carried during the early and mid-sixties...he made the equally light GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM and HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE around the same time.

Love Jack Lemmon? Then give this naughty little comedy a spin! Of course films made 40 years ago were not made to today's social standards. but that doesn't stop this wicked romp from being completely enjoyable. Imogene Coca offers up a spirited protagonist in this film. a performance that should not be missed! Shake up a swinging cocktail and sit back in your velvet lounge for a delicious sexual frolic.34 year old female.
