Boy's Night Out (1962)

Plot: Four married Executives rent a Manhattan "bachelor Pad" and then hire a beautiful housekeeper for romance. But she's actually a PHD candidate using them for research
Stars: Kim Novak, James Garner, Howard Duff, Tony Randall

This movie is supposed to be a comedy - but it made me sad instead. What a waste of Kim Novak! She's lovely and shows a flair a comedy, but she (and everyone else) can't overcome a witless, overlong script. Weirdly, the movie takes screen time from Garner and Randall and gives it to mediocrities like Howard Duff and Howard Morris.

Summary:  Some great acting talent is wasted in this unfunny 60's comedy. Its not just dated - its from another planet.  Poor Kim Novak. After slogging through this mess, Kiss Me Stupid  was on the horizon.
