Boys' Night Out

Fred Williams (James Garner), George Drayton (Tony Randall), Doug Jackson and Howie McIllenny are friends out on the town. Three are married and Fred is divorced. Only it's another night of non-excitement. They catch the train back home and come up with the idea of sharing a love nest in the city and a single blonde. The guys make Fred rent a place. Cathy (Kim Novak) shows up looking to rent. Fred talks her into a 'companion' or 'housekeeper' job.

James Garner is great and I like that Kim Novak is playing the boys. She doesn't have the greatest of range but she's fine in this role. She tries and does well enough. The movie is much too long and it needs some more fun. The four guys are fun with their childish idiocy. It would have been great to keep that tone for the whole movie. The middle drags a little. The problem may be the gang gets inevitably split up.
