Tony Randall is the ubiquitous cinematic sidekick of the 60s. Sandwiched between the Hudson & Day comedies "Lover Come Back" and "Send Me No Flowers" (and a few other films), he appears in this comedy as a bored husband, looking to kick up his heels. Joining him are Howard Duff, Howard Morris, and James Garner. They are four friends who are restless for some adventure, so they cook up a plan to share a "bachelor pad". If this sounds something like "The Apartment", which was released two years earlier, that is not surprising, but this film is more antic.
Morris, who is designed for comedy, would later play the hilarious Ernest T. Bass on The Andy Griffith Show. Garner, who had just finished with his TV series "Maverick", is the only one of the men who is unmarried. He lives with his mother, who would love to see him hitched.
The four find an apartment and a comely blonde, Cathy (Kim Novak), to play hostess. Cathy has an ulterior motive for agreeing to indulge their fantasies. It's all PG-rated fun, the kind that 60s comedies specialize in. In the end, things get out of control, in a harmlessly silly kind of way.
Watch for Patti Page, who sings the title song, as one of the wronged housewives.
