Bill (George Burns, Oh, God!) is an ex-vaudevillian who now lives alone. Kate (Brooke Shields, The Blue Lagoon) is a 14-year-old girl running away from a drug dealer. The two meet when Kate is hiding in the trunk of Bill's car, naked. Bill and Kate have to avoid the drug dealer, nosy neighbors and Bill's concerned daughter in order to keep Kate safe. Also featuring Academy Award winner Burl Ives (1958, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, The Big Country) and Ray Bolger (The Wizard of Oz), JUST YOU AND ME, KID is a charming comedy. Newly remastered. Review: Lots of fun for the whole family - We have been wanting a copy of this movie for years. Review: Good film. - To me this is an old fashioned mid range budget film that had a solid cast, good humor, and nothing really tawdry (although you see the backside of miss Brooke's stunt-double). It the kind of film that they used to make a great deal, but seems to have fallen by the way side. For all the runaways from broken homes with parents who fell into vices, this film is for you. The impeccable George Burns carries the film with his usual understated witty performance, and when things come to a head. And with all star Vaudevillian support cast of Hollywood greats, the film really shines. The film style is pretty basic. No overly artistic shots, not CGI, no digital inserts, none of the stuff that's become the trend in today's hyper film making atmosphere, as well as no real social psychology message, just a story that itself is the message without the benefit (or curse) of the studio marketing psychologists. And that's refreshing, because had this film been made today, then Brooke's character would have been droning on about how hard her life was. Burns' character would have been a burnt out humorless case. We would have had a lot of "sky cam" wire work, CGI stunt cars, and the one SFX in this film would have been green-screened to death. Fortunately this film was made a couple of decades ago. Give it a shot and see what you think. Enjoy.

Nice, little romp.
Not exactly a classic, but a light-hearted romp with a favorite actor/vaudevillian and a very nice-looking young actress. Amusing.
