Up and Down Comedy
24 February 2024
Walt Disney Studios family comedy starring Dean Jones as New York accountant Johnny Baxter, fed up with his dead end office job who one day when arriving at work is told that a relative has died and he has inherited a successful though remote snowy mountain lodge/hotel in Silver City Colorado so abruptly quits and moves himself, his wife and two children there only to discover that it isn't the bustling ski resort he thought, but in desperate need of repair and advertising, but with help of family and friends may just turn it around.

Marginal though appealing comedy is extremely good natured and reasonably realistic, though of course does contain some expected pratfalls and contrived mishaps. Likable throughout but loses steam towards the climax. Still, nostalgia for this bygone era is strong. Costars Nancy Olsen, Harry Morgan, and Keenan Wynn.
