High Time is a 1960 American comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Bing Crosby, Fabian, Tuesday Weld, and Nicole Maurey. The film is told from the perspective of middle-aged man Harvey Howard who enters the world of a new generation of postwar youth.

Production

High Time was scripted by Garson Kanin, Frank Waldman and Tom Waldman. It was originally titled Big Daddy, with the starring role of Harvey Howard to be played by Gary Cooper. When Cooper's terminal illness forced him to turn down the role, Bing Crosby was signed as lead, and the script was revised to his requirements. The movie was known as Daddy-O before being changed to High Time. Simone Signoret was once announced for the female lead.

Filming started on February 2, 1960. The movie was shot in Los Angeles at UCLA and in Stockton, California at Stockton Junior High School, Amos Alonzo Stagg Senior High School, the University of the Pacific, and other locations.

The film was originally intended to be filmed at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and this was publicized on campus only weeks before California shooting commenced. In early February 1960, Fox’s director of public relations Frank McCarthy telephoned Wake Forest’s news bureau director, explaining the relocation of filming.

Filming was interrupted by the strike of the Screen Actors Guild on March 7. Fabian's manager was reported as wanting to buy the film so it could be completed. "Now I've heard everything," wrote Hedda Hopper. "Fabian, who admits he can't sing and is perfectly honest about it, has been in our business a little more than a year." The strike ended and filming resumed on April 12.
