It's obvious that the cast had way too much sun before they started filming this lame beach comedy that has little to offer outside of some babes in bikinis and moronic musclemen, with Tony Curtis way out of his league and absolutely foolish looking mixing it with the likes of Claudia Cardinale and Sharon Tate. This film starts off with the most annoying plot device. A character who means well ends up being a human faultline, unintentionally causing problems because their temperament does not allow them to think which results in constant disaster for other characters.
In this case, the walking earthquake is Cardinale whose foolishness creates chaos for Curtis. She has him spending the night at her Beach house, and when her married lover, Robert Webber, shows up, she's alternatingly crying right and trying to hide evidence that he is there. She's basically really unlikeable from the moment she appears, while Webber and his wife (Joanna Barnes) aren't exactly a couple to root for either. Curtis is involved in a real estate scheme which marks a truly boring subplot. Sharon Tate is the official sex pot of the film with a bunch of beatnik beachcombers, none of whom who have intelligence larger than a grain of sand. Edgar Bergen has a thankless cameo. If it wasn't for the presence of Jim and Henny Backus as themselves in a cameo, I would give this a complete bomb.
