Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
It's the total ring-a-ding lifestyle: hep Manhattan pad, fishbowl-sized martini pitcher, and a long list of female companions. Then swinging bachelor Frank Sinatra has his style cramped by a chaste and very organized young Debbie Reynolds. Her detailed blueprint for courtship and marriage forms The Tender Trap's supposedly comic premise, although the results are fairly tepid. Even those expert supporting players David Wayne and Celeste Holm, as Frank's best buddy and most loyal girlfriend, don't have their usual zing. The stage origins of the material are all too evident, with much of the action set in Sinatra's enormous apartment (which is worth a look for future archivists trying to re-create an era). There's the Oscar®-nominated title song, of course, which is still a dandy--and you'll hear it about five times, including a pre-credits sequence with Sinatra (apparently as himself, not his character) crooning to the camera. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Good Stuff!
It's good. Trust me . .. It's good. I like it! I like it!
Rating: - The Tender Trap
This movie advocates marriage rather than remaining a bachelor and playing the field. Frank Sinatra was in his prime. Debbie Reynolds is an appealing Hollywood star. The song "The Tender Trap" is one of Frank Sinatra's great classic songs from the 1950's. It is a great comedy and great for Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds fans. David Wayne's performance should not be missed.
Rating:  - "You are the softest girl."
- Julie Gillis to Charlie Reader (responding to his offer of dinner): "Well, I've only known you a few minutes, but you seem fairly nice. You're even attractive in a...offbeat, beat-up sort of way."
- Charlie: "Thanks a lot."
- Julie: "But I can't have dinner with every nice, attractive man I meet. It's not part of my plan."
- Charlie: "How's that plan again?"
- Julie: "My marriage plan."

Rating: - Let It Captivate You Tenderly
Set in the world of 1950s show business, THE TENDER TRAP tells the love story of Charlie Reader (Frank Sinatra), a 40-something bachelor theater agent and Julie Gillis (Debbie Reynolds), a 21 year-old ingenue who, six months after graduation, is cast in her first play.
To the naked eye, the main characters have nothing in common. Charlie is a playboy with all the toys and playthings that come with life in 1950s Manhattan. His bachelor pad is well appointed for casual romance. With an ... Read More
Rating: - That Tender Trap
When it first started it swung you in with this amazing sing. Reynolds and Sinatra were great together.
