info-8606 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...

wes-connors Jack Lennon (as Hogan) is a promiscuous landlord who loves to rent apartments to hot prospects, like young Carol Lynley (as Robin); trouble is, she moves her fiancée Dean Jones (as David) in for a platonic "try-out" living arrangement. Mr. Lemmon spends much of the movie lecherously peeping at the young couple, while plotting how to seduce Ms. Lynley.The cast is very nice, but the story is really, really dumb. Mr. Lemmon is a terrific actor, but this role just doesn't work for him; you have to wonder about all of his peeping. This movie might have worked if the Lemmon character were unsuccessfully promiscuous, in a supporting role, and without the peeping (like a Dudley Moore or Don Knotts role). Mr. Jones and Ms. Lynley are very likable, but they want to undress, and tease each other so quickly. The orange cat was a (sex?) joke I didn't get. ** Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963) David Swift ~ Jack Lemmon, Carol Lynley, Dean Jones

scareduck It's been so many years since I've seen this, but I remember watching it as a teenager and thinking -- these are grownups here. *I'm* old enough to know what's going on. And this isn't funny. It reminds me of Matt Groening's Paradox:* The French are funny.* Sex is funny.* Comedies are funny.Yet, NO FRENCH SEX COMEDY IS FUNNY. Replace "French" with "Jack Lemmon", and, had you stumbled onto this film as your first and only exposure to that otherwise great actor, you might be tempted to banish Lemmon from your living room forever.

fairwaters 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.
