I'm not sure that Jack Lemmon was the right choice for the part of the slightly-seedy womanising landlord, as he is more associated with 'Mr decent middle America' types. Maybe Walter Matthau or even Peter Lawford may have been better suited. As for the rest, Carol Lynley is always good for the eyes and here she puts in some very nice touches, and Paul Lynde is good too, although he is slightly toned-down from his usual style. Overall it's an enjoyable watch, not a million miles away from the excellent Doris Day films of the time. The theme song is good too, with James Darren sounding like a young Frank Sinatra.
