Silly '60s romp
16 June 2022
In full 1960s sex comedy splendor, this silly movie makes fun of how men turn from harmless boys to lecherous wolves just by using a three-word excuse: Boys' Night Out. Four longtime friends, three of which are married, go out for boys' night and lust after every good-looking girl who crosses their path. They long for their bachelor days and all chip in to rent an apartment for whatever affairs they might have in the future.

However, when they get the chance to put their talk into action with bombshell Kim Novak, the married men turn out to be surprisingly faithful. The lone bachelor in the group, James Garner, is free to romance the beauty, and the pair falls in love. Parts of the movie are really funny, but parts of it are dated, too. After all, any movie that celebrates the lift of the Hays censorship is bound to over-do it on the close-ups of ladies' derrieres and sex jokes. But if you don't mind those kinds of comedies, like Pillow Talk and Sex and the Single Girl, get ready for a fun-filled movie with Kim Novak, James Garner, Tony Randall, Howard Duff, Janet Blair, Zsa Zsa Gabor, William Bendix, Fred Clark, and Jim Backus.
