Tonight's film in this season of outstanding films stars Rock Hudson, Paula Prentiss with Maria Perschy, Charlene Holt

Man's favourite sport is... fishing? Well not for Roger Willoughby (Rock Hudson), a salesman of fishing tackle and famed author on angling. He finds himself entered for a fishing competition without ever having fished in his life - not to mention an aversion to fish in any form! Complications come thick and fast when he undergoes a crash course in the gentle art at the hand of the delightful Paula Prentiss in this crisp and entertaining Howard Hawks comedy of 1963 from Universal.
