While leads Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee are as okay as they can be in a plot that is as unbelievable as a plot can be, it's the supporting cast and minor players which makes this wacky 60's sex comedy as fun as it can be. In typical bold colors, this Manhattan set farce, the story makes no sense, but when you've got a Laverne and Shirley like roommate pairing (Dee and the fabulous Nita Talbot), a zany Lenny morphed with Squiggy neighbor pal (Larry Storch) and Darin's soon to be divorced best friend (Donald O'Connor), there's plenty of laughs.
Working as a maid who never sees her boss, Dee shows up at their glamorous apartment, cleans up after their latest party, and later claims to Darin (whom she's met under precarious circumstances several times) that it's her apartment, not knowing that it's his. He moves in temporarily with O'Connor (like any red blooded American male would), and begins pursuing her romantically.
Packing in a ton of laugh out loud comic bits, this was enjoyable in spite of all its implausiblities. A bunch of veteran hatchet faced harridan character actresses show up for a funny scene at a phone booth, with Reta Shaw losing her place on line (as well as a dime) with a crowd of spectators (including Kathleen Freeman and Minerva Urecal) observing the brouhaha. Leo G. Carroll as pawnshop owner is also funny. The Golden Globe nominated theme song is quite good as is the intro by Paul Frees showing the funny bits of a frequently angry world. Maybe not a great comedy, but certainly one easy on the eyes and loaded with great supporting talent.
