sexual politics of its times
28 September 2018
David Sloane (Dean Martin) is an attorney and a dedicated bachelor. His best friend Harry Hunter (Eli Wallach) is uncontrollably in love with his mistress and growing distant from his wife. David decides to lure the mistress away in order to save the marriage. David starts dating his underling Carol Corman (Stella Stevens) who is completely head over heels over the charming David. The problem is that Carol is not the mistress.

The sexual politics is of its times and rather awkward in the modern sense. The comedy doesn't work as well. Dean Martin is perfectly cast. One has to constantly keep in mind how women are treated back then. All of that makes the comedy dated and I couldn't find one good laugh.
