reminiscent of an era
by patricianolan9992004-10-03

"This movie is fun to watch. The morals, the clothing, the furniture, the suits, the hairstyles, the hats, the booze, the husbands and wives--are pure 1962. It captures, in a very exaggerated and silly way, an era in American society that will never exist again. It's a time capsule. That's what makes this film so vintage and enjoyable. It's a "sex comedy" without the sex--very popular in those days. It's amazing to think that only five years later, hippies and war protesters were making their mark on society, and films like "Easy Rider" were being created..."

💡 Did You Know?

The only film of Kim Novak's production company, Kimco. It was meant to resurrect her career, which had floundered since the death of Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn in 1958. But the film was not well received by either critics or moviegoers, losing $262,000 (the equivalent of more than $2.3 million in 2021, adjusted for inflation). But it helped redirect James Garner's career from mostly westerns and war movies to some lighter fare. Six of his next eight films were comedies and included some of his biggest hits.
