I'll Take Sweden (1965)

Description

Widower and single dad, oil company executive Bob Holcomb (Bob Hope, The Road to Hong Kong) accepts a transfer to Sweden in hopes of keeping his daughter JoJo (Tuesday Weld, Pretty Poison) far away from her carefree, guitar-playing, marriage-minded boyfriend Kenny (Frankie Avalon, Beach Blanket Bingo). Little does Bob know that Sweden provides a more liberal view of all things romantic. So, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire. But JoJo isn't the only one with romance on her mind. Bob's plans for a romantic weekend with attractive interior designer Karin (Dina Merrill, Operation Petticoat) turns into a slapstick roundelay when Bob's wolf-in-sheep's-clothing assistant Erik (Jeremy Slate, Girls! Girls! Girls!), JoJo, and Kenny, along with Erik's "cousin" Marti (Rosemary Frankland, A Hard Day's Night), all arrive at the same mountain resort. The Land of the Midnight Sun will never be the same when Bob Hope and crew land on her shores in the romantic comedy I'll Take Sweden. Directed by Frederick De Cordova (Bedtime for Bonzo) from a screenplay by Nat Perrin, Bob Fisher and Arthur Marx (based on a story by Perrin), I'll Take Sweden co-stars Fay DeWitt (The Shakiest Gun in the West), Walter Sande (To Have and Have Not) and John Qualen (Casablanca).
