The World of Henry Orient Reviews
Great coming of age comedy that you'll watch over and over!
This is what I call a "comfort" movie, one you can watch over and over and still enjoy. Tells the story of 2 teenaged girls - Val, a piano prodigy neglected by her wealthy globe trotting parents, and Gil, a lonely girl being raised by her single Mom and her mom's best friend. The two girls meet at school and become best friends. Val develops a crush on Henry Orient (Peter Sellers) a terrible pianist with a habit of chasing married women. Val and Gil dedicate their lives to the study of Henry Orient and follow him all over New York City, with hilarious results. Great performances from the two young girls as well as from Peter Sellers and Angela Lansbury, who plays Val's mother. If you know a pre-teen or older girl, she would love a copy of this video! A TRULY SATISFYING FILM.
Thw world of Henry Orient
When these two teenagers meet and form a friendship, you are taking on an entertaining and heartfelt journey. Valerie Boyd and Marian Gilbert(played by Tippy Walker and Merrie Spaeth, respectively) are two unlikely friends who share a zest for life. When the two girls come across the eccentric pianist Henry Orient, played by Peter Sellers, infatuation ensues. Thus begins the pursuit for the infamous Henry Orient. Henry Orient is a madly altruistic ladies man who has been trying to seduce a married woman, Stella (played by Paula Prentiss). Strange things are happening which cause him to believe her husband has found them out and that they are being spied upon. Little does he know that Val and Gil are the ones doing the spying. The girls create a situation which causes some confusion among the adults in the movie. When Val's parents, played by Tom Bosley (Happy Days) and Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote), become intimately involved with the girls hijinks and Henry Orient, the girls are forced to grow up and face life as more than just fun and games. I watched this movie and felt an intense feeling of nostalgia. I was reminded of the days of being young and careless (Ahh. . . the simpler times.). I recalled the feeling of living at home and chumming around with friends. Ahh the good 'ole days... Okay, so I'm not that much older; I still goof off with my buddies and yes, I have friends that still live at home. What I am trying to say is that this movie left me with a longing of days that seemed more innocent. Although you may not get the same vibe I did, I think it is still a classic movie for anyone to watch.
