This light comedy is all formula - see other reviews for the general plot. The most interesting aspects of it now are the locations, sets, props and general early 60's culture - lonely suburban housewives, swinging but somehow buttoned down bachelor, etc. Everyone drinking hard - built in bars, tiki lounge cocktails, gibsons, etc.
The cars, in particular, are great. Check out the hair styles! Lana Turner has a helmet of blond surf. Hope's hair is like a raked zen garden.
Hope reportedly was quite a swordsman in his day, and he tries hard to be a rake in this farce, but his sarcastic "jokes" are real duds and he clearly was too old for the emerging "cool".
He also made a fortune in LA real estate putting up subdivisions like "Paradise Village". I wonder if these locations were shot on his development - more cash to Bob.
