Anecdotes
This was the first movie in which a mainstream American actress (Jayne Mansfield) appeared nude in several revealing scenes). It reportedly took some imbibing of champagne on Mansfield's part to get her out of her clothes the first time, although her fellow actors revealed in later interviews that she seemed to enjoy being naked on set and the attention she got so much, especially from men, that she started traipsing around between scenes. In fact, a photo in Kenneth Anger's book "Hollywood Babylon II" shows Mansfield on the set completely nude chatting with the crew.

Gaffes
At the start of the film when Sandy (Jayne Mansfield) is in the bubble-bath, she breaks the 4th Wall by glancing several times towards the camera when she is supposed to act as if she is alone.

Jeff Brooks: You mean to say that this pill is going to help me become a father?
Ship's Doctor: I have every reason to believe it will.
Jeff Brooks: Wow! What's in it?
Ship's Doctor: Well, let us just say it will accomplish a purpose. Immediately afterwards, however, a temporary state of amnesia may occur.
Jeff Brooks: Oh, amnesia?
Ship's Doctor: There's nothing to worry about.
Jeff Brooks: Oh, thank you, Doctor.
Ship's Doctor: You're very welcome. 'Bye.
Ship's Doctor: [recording his notes] Patient Jeffrey Brooks, professional writer, travelling on world cruise with his wife, Sandra. Couple married four years. No children. Patient has symptoms of extreme tension and anxiety caused by apparent infertility. Normal in all other respects. Prescribed five grains of salicylic acid, telling patient it would produce great excitement accompanied by complete freedom from anxiety and inhibitions. A simple experiment in the power of suggestion. Patient is, of course, unaware that the dosage is an aspirin tablet. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Delivers what it promises! promises! but is static and unfunny

This movie is considerate: it delivers what it promises (Jayne Mansfield topless) twice in the first 5 minutes - so you don't really need to bother with the remaining 70. Mansfield has a sensational body indeed (breasts as well as legs), but the film is more static and unfunny that smutty and scandalous. Tommy Noonan's drunken routine gets tiresome fast, T.C. Jones' gay-hairdresser routine is even worse. *1/2 out of 4.
