3 very attractive American women in Madrid looking for love, is the plot. This is a classic 60's film with the fashions and colours (much pink). The music is also of the time of big bands,who provide the soundtrack and sounding sumptuous too (which was all soon to go). People have provided the finer plot details in their reviews, and I can add as well, that the 3 women are a pleasure to look at (well, 2 of them more so).
The first half hour was a sheer delight, and the highlight of the remainder of the film, for me, and probably many guys, was Ann Margaret doing her beach number (I did say it was a typical 60's film) in a bikini. Who cares if the song is never one you are going to want to hear again, but the routine is one I could see over and over again.
Gene Tierney does not have a large part, but she does steal the acting credits, and it only took one scene to do that.
Some of this was actually filmed in Spain, and is pretty good on authenticity therefore, including some Spanish being spoken with no subtitle (not needed). We are given a small promo of Madrid and even taken to the Prado to see a few of Valazquez's pictures.
There is music/songs being performed here too by Ann Margret, including an excellent authentic flamenco routine included which I enjoyed. This Spanish promo also takes us for a short while to Toledo to appreciate the view. I also like that they steal the Picasso line to the German's when looking at his now famous Guernica picture of Germany bombing Spain (as a favour to Franco), they asked him,, "Who did this?", and he replied "You did"! A nice touch.
A typical 60's candy floss film, but certainly is watchable, although don't expect too much, and you'll enjoy. The women are worth the price of admission alone and probably the males are too for those who like men.
