Dear Inman: I remember a movie from when I was a kid in the 1960s. I told my daughter about it and she’d like to see it but I can’t remember the name of it. It was about a young woman who was a newlywed and who had a poodle. Her mother advised her to train her husband like she had her dog. It might have been called “How to train your husband.” Is it out on video? – A.L., via e-mail
Dear A.L.: As a member of the male gender, I’d like to go on record as saying that “training” me is not like training a poodle.
An Irish Setter, maybe.
At any rate, the movie is called “If a Man Answers,” and was released in 1962. Sandra Dee is the trainer and Bobby Darin is the canine surrogate.
The movie’s on DVD.
