I became aware of John Williams' music thanks to this film. By 1966 standards this was first-class comedy, considering that Doris Day (44) and Rock Hudson (41) were by then unconvincing as vestal and satyr, respectively, or whatever. Nobody cared much about them anymore with Shirley MacLaine around, and after 1965's "What's New Pussycat" (which nobody cares about today, but back then it gave us kids many ideas to explore body zones...) As a matter of fact the leading "transgressor" in that movie (written by Woody Allen, as an improved alter ego) plays the leading man to Holly Golightly turned Nicole Bonnet here, so it was not hard to imagine some unseen action in that museum.
I have not seen it in many years, but I remember I liked it in 1966, although I thought it needed a bit of "rebellious piquancy", compared to The Beatles' movies and even Howard Hawks' "Man's Favorite Sport?", which put Hudson in front of 22-year old Paula Prentiss, another "transgressor" who played a poetess-suicide addict-stripper in "Pussycat", with strip-tease included that in the end was cut... Those were the days.
