    This is a classic and I bought the DVD, which although was not of the best quality, the magic was still there! Even though Andy Williams was the "spoiler" and would lose the girl to Robert Goulet, I loved them both - Andy & Robert were so young & handsome & Sandra was such a beautiful actress, but I truly believed I fell in love with Andy when he sang "Almost There" - the orchestration was superb and added to the romantic lilt in the song - so glad I can watch it over & over again!!!

    This is a classic! I have had it on VHS for years and watch it several times a year. The cast does a wonderful job of playing off each other to achieve a comedy classic. Add to this the musical score and you have a hit. Please, release this classic on DVD so we can continue to enjoy it for many years to come! Also, a good choice for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon movie for TCM this summer!

    I don't understand why this is never on TV and has not been put on DVD. So many gems like this movie are sitting on a shelf someplace gathering dust. What a crying shame!

    Super movie, one of my all time favorites. The cast is great, the story is romantic and fun. I too have contacted Universal Pictures and their reply was that they have no plans to release this picture any time soon. This makes me very sad! Wish there was something that could be done to get the movie out!

  • SANDRA DEE FANS UNITE!!!!!

    • Jennie
    • 7/21/11

    This was a TERRIFIC romantic comedy! Have tried to find it for YEARS! It's never shown on TCM anymore and it's not available for purchase! Sandra Dee fans should have access to this movie! It was terrific!! Robert Goulet/Sandra Dee are as good a combination as Bobby Darin/Sandra Dee (well, almost!)!!! Please TCM, right this wrong! Start showing this one and help to get it on dvd!!!!

  • DVD NOW!

    I recall seeing this on tv as a young girl and just loving the movie. It's one of those make you feel good kind of movies. A great chick flick. I'd love to see it again and even purchase it on DVD; however it's not available on home video. Would love to see you show this on tv and hoping to see it on DVD so I can purchase it. A great cast and you can't help but to fall in love with the characters. Truly a classic!

    I contacted Universal Pictures as the listed distribution company they stated they still have the distribution rights to the movie. They stated unless others contact them about the movie they have no plans to rerelease it.

    Sandra Dee was the Julia Roberts of her time. Yet there are not that many of her movies on dvd. I'm one of those people who would watch I'd Rather Be Rich each time it came on TV. I would love to see this film uncut. And would be the first in line to buy it.

    I watched this as a teen and have been looking for this since. It's fun and family friendly. Please please please a DVD. Please please air.

  • Truly Delightful Movie!!

    • Charles Killian
    • 7/22/10

    I am a big fan of '60s romantic comedies, and this is one of, if not THE best movie of that genre. I think this one stands out due to the music talents of Goulet and Williams, in addition to their hilarious portrayals of romantic rivals for the affections of Sandra Dee. And Maurice Chavalier, is at his hilarious best as a wealthy, worldly, meddling grandfather trying to influence his granddaughter's choice of a husband. If commerically available, I would purchase a number of copies for both myself and my kids, who grew up watching my collection of comedies. I have been periodically scanning my cable guide for a showing of this movie for at least 5 years, and so far have been unsuccessful. Please restore this movie to the realm of cable TV so it can periodically be enjoyed along with other great movies of that era which are available from time to time. It is truly one of the finest films of its genre.

    Please put this movie on your schedule, I would love to see it again. I can still hear Andy Williams singing as he's driving down the road to the cabin. Then seeing the turkey flying out of the oven. Pleas...Please...Please

    I, too, have looked and looked for this movie! Wish I could see it again - it has been over 40 yrs. since I saw it and I still remember it. I always liked Andy Williams and was so hoping that he would get the girl!! Please release it on DVD. Would love to see it! I still remember the scene of the car going up the highway with the "Almost There" song! Very romantic!!!

  • Wonderful 60s Romantic Comedy

    • 4/28/09

    This is my all time favorite film. Fox Family used to show it on occasion, but I have not seen it in years. Sandra Dee, Andy Williams, Robert Goulet, Maurice Chevalier all sparkle in this delightful movie. It is not available on DVD or VHS. Maurice Chevalier is especially delightful in this confection and Andy Williams surprises as an able comedic actor. Please, please give this movie the attention it deserves!!

  • PLEASE PLEASE SHOW THIS MOVIE!

    • 4/15/09

    I have searched for this movie for years!I have even told my kids & grandkids to keep an eye out for it.It is such an unforgetable movie! I know I would buy if it. Probably 2 copies!

  • Love it!

    • 4/2/09

    This movie needs to be out on DVD. I saw it when i was a little girl. My dad got me into all the old movies. I recorded it off TV years ago. But it would be nice to watch one of my favorite movie with out having to fast forward through old commercials. :)

  • love this movie

    • 10/25/08

    I watched this movie as a teen and loved it. I taped if off of TCM and my daughter now a teen loves it too. We have watched it together a dozen times and we still laugh. Movies like this never get "old". I wish it were available on DVD. It's a movie that in our family will be watched for another generation (if i can perserve my tape- even the old commercials are a hoot!)but I would really like a DVD.

  • I'd be Rich (PLEASE PUT ON DVD)

    • 10/17/08

    I saw this movie years ago and loved it had it on tape and give it to someone to watch it and the person brother so the tape never looked at it and taped over the movie. Well the movie never came on again and I'm still not talking to my friend's brother. That is how much I loved this movie it was just great fun. (Good Times)

  • When can we expect to see this movie again?

    • Debbi
    • 9/8/08

    It's been years since I've seen this movie and it's my absolute favorite. It's not available to buy or rent! (that I've found) I would love to own a copy of it. They just don't make movies like this anymore.

  • Favorite Sandra Dee movie

    • Joanne
    • 8/3/08

    Please show this movie again and again. Also i collecting all Sandra Dee movies and would love to have this one. I love it when she kisses Robert Goulet's character and her she pops out of her shoes like her grandfather told her he did when he was really in love. I am a real romantic at heart and i love love romantic comedy's.

  • LOVE this movie!!!!

    • Carleen
    • 7/15/08

    Please play it, and get it released on DVD. It's as good as, or better, than the current Sandra Dee movies available for purchase. Perfect romantic comedy!

    • 7/5/08

    Great movie and very funny. I watched this as a child with my family. I would love to add this to my collection but can't find a copy. If you play it we will all be able to enjoy a quality movie. Todays movie don't have the same light hearted appeal and an escape would be nice for us all.

  • Please get it released on DVD!

    • 4/27/08

    This is a great classic. Each character's lines are so funny and the actors are great...including Maurice Chevalier, Sandra Dee, Robert Goulet, and Andy Williams. It would be great to do an updated remake though I don't know who could compete with the original characters.

  • So funny!

    • 3/12/08

    I absolutely love the part where Cynthia Dulane wants her fiance' to kiss her to see if he will knock her shoes off as Warren has. I used to dream that my real love would knock my shoes off too. And he does but not physically like hers.

    • 11/1/07

    I have not seen this movie for a very long time, it is one of my favorites. This is one of my favorite Sandra Dee movie. Loved Robert Goulet and Andy Williams, you don't see them in many movies they were both very good. Hope you will show this movie soon, now that we have lost another cast member, Robert Goulet. He was a great entertainer and will be missed. Also hope they put this movie on DVD soon. so I can add to my Sandra Dee collection.

  • Play it in honor of Robert Goulet

    • Carey
    • 11/1/07

    I'm a huge Sandra Dee fan I love all her movies but I haven't been able to see this one yet. I've been waiting for TCM to show it.

  • Ikeep waiting!

    • 8/12/07

    Please show this movie. I remember seeing it for the first time while babysitting as a teenager. I still can hear Andy Williams singing on the way to the cabin. And I was in love with handsome Robert Goulet. I continue to look for the movie to be released on DVD. Please help all of us Sandra Dee fans. I think this was her best movie ever.

  • Release on Dvd and show on TMC.

    • Sandra Watson
    • 7/12/07

    Sandra Dee is one of my all favorite actors. I grew up watching all of her movies on the t.v. and going to see her on the movie screen. This is one of her best roles. She is so good in comedy & romance. This movie has'nt been shown in decades. Please find it and include it for Sandra Dee's month of movies. Also, I can identify with her: My daughter calls me Sandra Dee.

    • 6/12/07

    I'd rather be rich is not one of my favorite movies, it is without a doubt my very most favorite movie of all time. I remember seeing it with my mother when it first came to the theater. I consider Sandra Dee to be a very beautiful woman and a great actress and enjoyed her, and Andy Williams, and Robert Goulet. My mother loved Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold. Please put this movie on DVD so that I can see it again before I die. I'm getting up there in age and I'd love to see this again.

  • Please show or release to DVD

    • Emma Rodriguez
    • 5/2/07

    Sandra Dee is one of my all time favorites. I have not seen this movie in decades. It has such charm, chemistry and comedy - similar to the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies--it was good then-it would be wonderful now!

  • love always wins out just check your feet

    • Penny Loken-Evans
    • 2/19/07

    Andy Williams, Robert Goulet, and Sandra Dee are positively comical in this movie. Dee and Williams are kindly sent to the mountain cabin by Goulet and all the pranks staged by Goulet's college roomate are perfectly pulled of with great humor to make Williams really suffer for love but in the end Dee realizes that it's Goulet that has her heart..or rather her feet.

  • Please show or release to DVD

    • Pam Clabough
    • 2/9/07

    I have Sandra Dee and this movie as my wish list on my DVR. I've been waiting to see this movie for over a year now. I tried looking for it to buy; I found out that it's not release to DVD. TCM I love the old movies and I'm so glad you love them too. Please satisfy my craving and show I'd rather be rich.

  • Who Doesn't Love Sandra Dee?

    • Paulette Morris
    • 10/3/06

    I totally agree with Dianna King. It is on of my favorite movies. Every week when the TV Guide comes, the first thing I do is look for this movie. If TCM does not want to air the movie, at least release it on DVD....I'll be the first in line to purchase it. Sandra Dee is the girl next door.

  • put this movie on the schedule

    • 5/23/06

    this is a perfect movie for sunday afternoon watching. the story is silly, the sets are sumptuous, the clothes are spectacular and it is just plain fun to watch. sandra dee movies are my guilty pleasure, and this is one of the most guilt provoking. i watch it with the shades pulled down. if you like kitcsh, you will love this

  • Why isn't this movie ever aired or out on DVD?

    • Dianna King
    • 3/21/06

    This is one of my very favorite movies ever!! My husband and I had the song that Andy Williams sang to Sandra Dee on their way to the cabin sung at our wedding, 34 years ago. It is a wonderful old movie. It needs to be shared with a new generation.

  • you need to show this movie

    • annie terzich
    • 3/19/06
