Frivolity Accentuated


Frivolous Silliness!

This 1965 fare is sheer silliness centering on the antics of a hedonistic magazine editor who truly wants to marry his steady girlfriend but is virtually besieged with beautiful women all the time.

A rare movie to show Peter O'Toole fooling around. Peter Sellers is his old self as if playing out his Indian character in The Party. As for Woody Allen, he wrote more meat into his role in this movie than in Casino Royale.

The casting of the actresses here is genuinely beautiful. From Ursula Andress in her prime, Romy Schneider, Capucine to Paula Prentiss. A sight for sore-eyes as they pranced around in Paris! Thank God for celluloid!


If you have the time, relive the 60's and immerse yourself into the humour of that era.
