THE LOVE BUG (Robert Stevenson, 1969).

Released three years after the death of the its founder, Walt Disney Productions’ The Love Bug continued the tradition of fantasy comedies established by the studio a decade earlier with The Shaggy Dog (Charles Barton, 1959). It introduced Herbie, the anthropomorphic VW Beetle, to cinema audiences and would prove a massive hit for Disney, spawning a franchise which would include four theatrical sequels, a TV series and a made for TV movie.

The movie stars Dean Jones as washed up racing driver Jim Douglas whose fortunes are reversed thanks to the lovable VW Bug. He is pitted against arch rival David Thorndyke, who uses every dirty trick in the book to defeat Douglas in a cross-country race, the stakes of which are ownership of Herbie.

Disney regular Jones and love interest Michelle Lee make for attractive leads and prove themselves adept at light comedy. Less subtle, but just as effective are Buddy Hackett as a kooky new age mechanic and Joe Flynn as Thorndyke’s long suffering assistant. Best of all is the magnificent David Tomlinson as the comically villainous Thorndyke.

Ultimately the star is, of course, the car; brought to life through a combination of impressive stunt work and pre-CGI effects that hold up fine 50 years after release. Herbie has an endearing puppy dog charm and more personality than most humans!

Bill Walsh and Don Da Gradi’s screenplay mixes slapstick humour with some genuinely witty dialogue while Robert Stevenson, arguably the greatest director on the Disney roster, brings his flair for whimsical fantasy to what might be his best work after Mary Poppins (1964).

The Love Bug was to become the highest grossing movie of 1969 and one of the highest earners of all time. It’s easy to see why. With its winning mix of racetrack thrills and good natured laughs, it is a deftly performed, expertly crafted gem.

The Love Bug

2000

“Bakit ba pinahihirapan mo ang sarili mo? Hindi ka naman bibitayin kung aaminin mong may gusto ka sa akin.”

Pinagsisihan ni Ningning ang ginawa niyang pambabasted kay Lyle many years ago. Dahil nang muli niyang makita ang lalaki—may damdaming bigla na lang sumibol sa tigang niyang puso. Paanong hindi, eh, napakaguwapo ni Lyle? At kung minimina ang sex appeal, mas mayaman pa siguro ito kay Bill Gates. Parang gusto niyang laging magpakulong sa mga bisig nito at tikman ang mga labi na parang mga magnet na umaakit sa kanya. Umasa rin si Ningning na liligawan siya ni Lyle sa ikalawang pagkakataon. Pero mukhang walang balak ang lalaki. At isa na lang ang option niya: Seduction! Ang problema ay wala siyang ideya kung paano iyon gagawin...

RetroSpector / #FlashbackFriday — Around every Vancouver corner, a famous movie celebrity can be found • [just gotta know where to look] 👀 ••• Backstory: Herbie, the Love Bug. 1963 Volkswagen Beetle (aka “Bug” or “VW Bug”) — the little car with a mind/spirit of its own, outraced its opponents & always cast a love spell upon those who cared for it. ••• The franchise began with the 1968 Disney* film “The Love Bug”, with the last film instalment being 2005’s “Herbie: Fully Loaded”, ( ⭐️ Lindsay Lohan). • Herbie the Love Bug (2018 reboot/remake) TV series., shot in Vancouver 🇨🇦. — Season 1 (Feb—April, 2018). • To be fair — it’s likely one of many cloned copies of the famous VW — In stunt-ridden “Herbie Goes Bananas” (1980), intended as an ultimate farewell, a total of 23 Volkswagen Beetles appeared as Herbie, & most of them were sufficiently destroyed filming numerous stunts & many discarded, or auctioned off. It appears this Herbie clone, is owned by “Bear” & may permanently reside in town. It’s handy for further publicity tours & the ultimate “punch buggy”, whenever spotted around town. 💥🥊 • _________| 🎞 🎥🍿 |__________ • * This “little car that could” story marked Disney’s last live action film produced w/Walt Disney's involvement, released 2 years after his death, in 1966. Altho’ ⭐️ Dean Jones initially pitched Walt a serious, straightforward film project - a story of the 1sr sports car brought to the USA 🇺🇸 , Walt suggested a different car story for him, “Car, Boy, Girl”, written by Gordon Buford (1961).
