Such a collection of hollywood names... Writer Paddy Cheyevsky had won Three oscars! Don Murray was oscar nominated for Bus Stop. Twice nominated, 37 year old Jack Warden, although not nominated for his best known works, The Bad News Bears and Being There. directed by Delbert Mann, who WON the oscar for Marty, not one of my favorite films. keep an eye out for nancy marchand, probably best known as Mrs. Pynchon in Lou Grant. and an uncredited producer role for Burt Lancaster, since it was made by Hill-Hecht-Lancaster. imdb also shows production assistant Jim Lancaster on the payroll, but it's not clear if that was his dad or his son. anyhoo... the plot is exactly as expected. temptations are there at the bachelor party, and the married guys are tempted to stray with the single women. REAL similar to the 1984 version of Tom Hanks in the modern Bachelor Party. it's pretty good, but so much more serious than the newer 1984 one. Best Supporting actress nomination for Carolyn Jones! in the background, we see "Sutter's Confections", which really was a real dessert place in new york city. shown on Turner Classics here and there. it was waaaay after the production code had fallen apart, so it was okay to talk about these things. but i'd skip this one and watch the newer one.
