Review of Every Little Crook and Nanny

Lovely to see Victor Mature, always a favorite, playing an extravagant Mafia don. And a slimmed-down Lynn Redgrave as a nanny taking care of the don's son, while the don is in Italy. Other members of the cast, Dom DeLuise, John Astin, Paul Sand and Austin Pendleton add to the comedy, but it goes off base when too many have zany moments which take away from the mane story. Nonetheless, it's worthwhile to see the stars who are no longer with us. Also the 1972 comedy is like a time capsule, not something we would see today. Gaudy 70s costumes and female anatomy jokes place this film firmly in the time frame before movies lost their humor.
