Allan Carr's ostensible remake of the 1960 film jettisons everything that made the Glendon Swarthout source novel interesting and replaces it with a gender-flipped take on the typical brainless '80s sex comedy. It was the final work of film and TV director Hy Averback and features a promising cast who do not deliver on the promise.
