    This movie was delightful! It really captured the '60's to a tee! The women were very feminine and also, the '60's decor was spot on! It was a real blast from the past! Thanks for posting!

      It was made in the 60s...so everything would be spot on..

      ​@@rikigirl1165 Well, you must remember that not everyone here was alive then. Or, if they were born then, they wouldn't remember. Those of us born in the 1950s do, clearly.

    I met John Saxon in 1980. He was short, had a very oddly shaped body, and was rude to the few who recognized him... who seemed like pleasant people. I've seen movies with him and often thought about what a great actor he was. To come across as likeable when he was just the opposite must've taken next level acting skills.

      Yes, it's called working. It's called acting. It's the illusion that we know these famous people and that they must be as lovely off screen as on. Reality can be a shocker.

      Did you mention to him how short, very oddly shaped and rude he was? Just wondering. BTW, John Saxon costarred with future superstar Robert Redford(his film debut) in the 1962 film "War Hunt". Scuttlebutt says the two men didn't get along as Redford found Saxon to be short, very oddly shaped and rude, but you know how scuttlebutt can be. Interestingly 17 years later Saxon had a supporting role in Sydney Pollack's The Electric Horseman starring Robert whatshisname and Jane Fonda. No word on what the cast and crew thought of Saxon's height, body shape or manners.

      I thought John Saxon was handsome , but he was mean looking ! I heard Sandra Dee describe him the same way !

      20alphabet: people in the public eye have no room to move. They are often pestered by others who just want to amuse themselves. It's important to understand that John Saxon could get tired just like everybody else. You, for example, are ready to condemn him just because you didn't get what you wanted from him.

    According to IMDB, this was released on June 5, 1968. You could have gone to the theatre to see this and take your mind off the news that day of the shooting of Bobby Kennedy.

    Those were the days of the "Singles Only" Californa apartment scene which flourished in the middle to late 1960s(when this movie was made)I think they are mostly gone now.

    Born in 1956 - old enough to remember it, but not really old enough to take part in and enjoy the fun parts!

    John Saxon was the most handsome actor of his time 1956-65. With his fabulous looks, especially those bushy eyebrows, perfect nose, double lashes and an athletic body, this Italian guy was the heart-throb of millions of girls, who wished they were in Sandra Dee's shoes. Ms. Dee was his delightful co-star in many coming-of-age films like: The Restless Years, The Reluctant Debutante, Portrait in black. In 'Cry Tough',about life in the ghettos of New York, the story-telling was embossed with naked realism, rawness and brutal honesty. It was one of the meatiest roles he got to sink his teeth into. John's one drawback was that he began to lose his hair early in his twenty's that eventually robbed him of his once powerful dashing looks.

    What a time capsule! A sanitized Hollywood version of the sixties singles scene (although actually those motel-type apartment complexes really did look better before the laws changed and they couldn't be "for singles only" anymore). Eat your heart out, "Mad Men"!

  • @cjordan1161

    Yes , there was a time when women had beautiful , natural bodies and faces . No humongous breasts , barrel size bums , duck lips , ; a time when beauty was natural and fresh .

    The highest point of this silly comedy : @ 7:13 presence of the brazilian pianist & organist Walter Wanderley [ playing his Hammond B-3 ] , @ 7:36 the brazilian percussionist "Dom Um Romão" and @ 7:29 José Marino at the bass [ The Walter Wanderly Trio ] . That explains the Bossa Nova flavour in this song. The american singer Talya Ferro interprets the song “Take A Chance With Me”.

    There was an early episode of the 1970s police TV series "The Streets of San Francisco" that was set at a "singles only" apartment place similar to the one in this movie.

    Filming started 18 September 1967. It was a rare comedy role for John Saxon.
    Vincent Canby described the film as "a mindless, witless romantic drama about the mindless, witless young people who live, swim and boogoloo all day in one of those southern California apartment houses restricted to chamois-skinned unmarrieds," adding that the movie "is really an impotent fantasy about the sex life of the young [...] only an elderly movie producer living in southern California could remain alive and yet be so dead to the meaning of the world around him." Sandra Brennan wrote that the film "is basically about the exploitation [of] two naive young women," one of whom "gains firsthand experience with gang rape and suicide. Now I want to see the whole thing! 50:10 Bret Henley (John Saxon) says they'll takes Helen (Lana Wood) to Catalina Island where 14 years later her sister Natalie Wood would drown.

    Not a good movie but it is an interesting time capsule. Released just before the rating system came into effect. Would probably have gotten a M rating if not an R.

    Mary-Ann Mobley wasn't a conventional beauty, but she had a certain ladylike quality about her that was very appealing She was as neat-as-a-pin and also very feminine. I can never envision her as a pushing virago. The few films that I saw her featured in, I just liked her.

    Walter Wanderley on the organ with his Brazilian bossa nova troupe playing at a pool party full of swinging white-bread singles, featuring MIss America beauty pageant celebrity (Miss Biloxi Mississippi), Mary Ann Mobley. She ended up going straight to the tv market after this picture. In the end, she and her ex-hubby, Gary Collins, ended up back down in Biloxi MS where they passed away, both learning the hard way that there was no such thing as heaven.

    What a horrible movie! B-movie going to C or D. Starts pretending to be a comedy, finishes in drama but in a bad soap opera way. Horrible music, bossa nova was much better than Walter Wanderley and his organ. Who was the audience target for a movie like this?
