Womanising journalist Paul Newman encounters repressed fashion designer Joanne Woodward in Paris - she makes out she's a prostitute and he buys it. Shavelson (Houseboat, The War Between Men and Women) certainly does have many quirky ideas (split screen fashion show - straight vs. sexy), and the couple are enticing, but the film fails to click entirely.
With the always wonderful Thelma Ritter, and Eva Gabor, George Tobias, Marvin Kaplan, Maurice Chevalier.
Shot colourfully by Daniel L Fapp, Loyal Griggs second unit, edited by Frank Bracht.
It received approval from neither the critics nor the public.
