Maltin was right, 7 January 2005
3/10
Author: estabansmythe from Temple City, CA

I believe it was critic Leonard Maltin who called this, "the most obscene G-rated film of all time." He was right. And on top of that, it's a terrible film. It falls right in there with some of Bob Hope's late '60s and early '70s disasters. And that it corralled good old Ozzy Nelson to boot adds insult to injury.

Sorry folks, but he only thing really worth watching are young Christina Ferrare, who at 17 or 18 was a genuine knockout, and Lola Albright, who played her mother opposite an incessantly befuddled and fit-to-be-tied David Niven.

By the early-to-mid 1970s, this movie's morals were already dated. Dig it out every now and then so people could see a genuine curio from a by-gone era. But as for me, if I'm going to watch a comedy from that time,I'd rather watch The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes or Now You See Him, Now You Don't or something equally deep.
