The Tamer Tamed

A lonely, eccentric millionaire decides to adopt a family of performers, including a young singer and her aspiring actor husband. He hopes to mold them into his ideal image of a family. However, his meddling and outlandish expectations lead to comedic chaos and romantic entanglements.

The Tamer Tamed was largely overlooked upon its release and is considered a minor work in Frank Tashlin's filmography. Critics at the time noted its slapstick humor and visual gags, typical of Tashlin's style, but often found the plot thin and the performances uneven. Audience reception was generally lukewarm, with its broad comedy not connecting widely.

• Praised for its energetic slapstick and Tashlin's signature visual gags.

• Criticized for a weak and predictable plot.

• Considered by some to be an example of Tashlin's quirky, sometimes bizarre, comedic sensibilities.
