Disappointing inane farce with an all-star cast.
Frank Sinatra plays his usual swinging self. As a theatrical agent, he has a supply of women around including Lola Albright and Carolyn Jones. Both are completely wasted here. Jones was much better, when she starred 4 years later with Sinatra, in 1959's A Hole in the Head.
Debbie Reynolds tries to play the prim and proper Julie, who has her life planned out for her. She falls for Sinatra.
Celeste Holm tries to show comic flair by playing a musician-another love interest of Sinatra. Frankie becomes engaged to both Holm and Reynolds at the same time-you would think this would make for an hilarious situation. It doesn't and is quickly resolved.
David Wayne, a wonderful under-rated actor, plays Sinatra's married and want-to-be swinging pal who has left his wife of 11 years along with his 3 children. He falls for Holm as well.
Naturally, this story resolves itself at the end. Was it really worth the effort?
Sinatra-Reynolds-Holm and Wayne come out on the screen at the end to sing the title song. Holm and Wayne hold hands despite the fact that Wayne returns to his wife and Holm conveniently marries a British resident who resides in the same building as Sinatra. How coincidental.
