The Brass Bottle (1964)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Harry Keller
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal Vault Collection)

Tony Randall is a flustered bachelor who buys an ancient Egyptian bottle for his fiance Barbara Eden. Inside the bottle is Genie Burl Ives who makes his life chaos. Sound familiar? Reverse the gender roles and you've got I Dream of Jeannie. It's colorful and entertaining fluff, if overly familiar for those of us who grew up on the TV series.
