Trivia
A disappointment at the box office, summed up by Ann-Margret in her autobiography: "Nobody wanted to see me as a woman of the world. They wanted Kim from [Bye Bye Birdie (1963)]. . [Elvis Presley] had the same problem. Audiences didn't want us to grow up."

Quotes
Maggie Williams: Susie, you're so dumb!
Susie Higgins: I know I'm dumb! But it's all I have to work with.

Ann-Margaret in a Flamenco dress!

I saw this movie in a theater in the 1960s when it was released. I soon bought the soundtrack. The music is upbeat and fun, and Ann-Margret's purring voice in several of the songs were worth the $3.50 or whatever soundtracks cost back then. I wish I still had the vinyl LP, but I left it behind years ago for lack of space, and I have often wished I hadn't. The cover shot of Ann-Margret dancing in a hot pink ruffled dress, if I remember correctly, should have been sufficient cause for me to hold onto it.

Ann-Margret dominates any film she's in, but Carol Lynley and Pamela Tiffin were also lusciously beautiful. I had forgotten Gene Tierney was in the cast, but now I remember her bitchy vignette (type casting, from what I read about her).

I wish 20th Century Fox would release this film on DVD. I'd love to see it again.
