Somewhat Dated but Quite Entertaining
2 July 2021
This film essentially begins with a young woman by the name of "Carol Corman" (Stella Stevens) accidentally catching the CEO of her department store "Harry Hunter" (Eli Wallach) having an affair with a woman named "Muriel Laszlo" (Anne Jackson). Fearful that the word might get out Harry offers Carol a promotion which she accepts even though she had no intention of disclosing anything. Meanwhile, Harry tells his best friend "David Sloane" (Dean Martin) how wonderful his mistress is which only raises David's suspicions that she isn't what she seems. So in an effort to get Harry and his wife "Mary Hunter" (Katharine Bard) back together he decides to check out Harry's new companion personally. The only problem is that he mistakes Carol for Harry's mistress and that is when the trouble really begins for everyone involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a genuinely funny film based largely on the acting of Dean Martin who played his role to near perfection. Likewise, I also enjoyed the performances of both Stella Stevens and Eli Wallach as well. In any case, although this film might be somewhat dated, I found it to be quite entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
