This movie is a dud from start to finish. The few jokes are dull, the script flat, the characters never developed, and mostly unlikable. The official trailer presents this as a laugh-a-minute comedy, which it is not, one that deals with taboo sexual issues - i.e., ones that weren't being discussed on television at the time - which is true but uninteresting.
My only question is: how different is this from the play of the same name on which it was based, and which ran for 417 performances on Broadway, where it was produced by the esteemed Theater Guild, no less? (The male lead was taken by Johnny Carson late in its run.) I suppose I could track down a copy of the play and find out, but I'd hate to put more time into this.
