Carol Levy plays two look-alike friends in New York. One is a naive and engaged conservative, the other a case of loose-limbed morality. The reckless one, Lucy Darling, has an appointment or something in Monaco but must stay in New York. She convinces her staid Doppelganger, Audrey Swallow, to take her place and go to Monaco. Swallow is recalcitrant. It would upset her life and all that. Of course, the switch is made anyway. The rube goes to Monaco and the slut stays in New York.
What follows is mostly predictable. In Monaco, Audrey is seduced by various men and women. Back in New York, Lucy pretends to be Audrey but fails miserably, showing up at an elegant party in a tiny bathing suit.
No need to go on with the plot. This switching of identities business is pretty hoary stuff. It was the subject of Shakespeare's first play -- and HE stole it from the Greeks. But this plot is as common as it is because it provides so many opportunities for laughs. Some, but not enough, are forthcoming here.
It's not Carol Levy's fault. She's an actress of modest talent and isn't stunning by modern Hollywood standards but her speech and her movements are fluid and graceful, giving her a certain appeal, no matter how stupid the scene happens to be.
This comes from Radley Metzger and so we expect a lot of sex. And there is some nudity and simulated coitus. It doesn't compare to what's available on some late-night cable TV channels today, and its dainty quality isn't made up for by much sparkle in the dialog.
I'd like to recommend it, if only because Levy has such big blue eyes, but I can't imagine an audience for it.
