Reseña destacada
Don't bother to knock on this film -- don't expect even light humour. Very inappropriate behaviour is muted and seems a tad unsavoury now.
The "sexuality" can't save the film (is there any?) or perhaps as some odd ball testosterone fuelled epic, as it fails in that challenge.
A cringe-worthy, toe-curling "Confessions of a Travel Agent," it is not. The film doesn't deliver one kick for the prurient or voyeuristic eyes? OK I have to admit Elke is stunning eye candy, however the acting of Todd is not worth even that watch.
Todd produced this, why? Well to re-boot his film career? But why such an appalling theme? Why such a dreadful script, blah, blah.
His fellow actors are very able and competent - shame then that the lead here is so miscast. Harry H Corbett would have made this film worthy, Tony Curtis the lead believable.
How sad then that Todd ruined any chance the film might have delivered with his very odd charmless lead. Miscast? Certainly .
That somehow each woman falls for his contrived, predatory behaviour seems highly unlikely. If charmless grey is an aphrodisiac then fine the women of the 50s/60s saw more in a man than most do today.
Is this a life/love story? A witty look at the bachelor gay that is turned by the love of a "good" woman. Well no. Any woman would have grimaced then and now at this charmless "charmer." But is that down to Todd's interpretation of a lothario? Clearly miscast here, even down the English beach he is a fish out of water, fortunately Elke (Ingrid) distracts!
This type of nonsense is why the British film industry died a death in the 60s - not just from TV's competition. R.Todd et al., is found trying to entertain what must have been to a very comatose audience.
Good shot though of the city of Edinburgh as it is often seen. Nothing changed for the Scots in fifty years - dreek city plus a pipe band (obviously) then it's no wonder they want Freedom! I wanted freedom too from this bloody film!
He is "on" all the time - if my dog wished to only live to get its leg over (as Todd's character clearly wished) then a visit to the vet for my pooch would have soon sorted that out. This "film" needed to be put out of its misery.
There's no reason for anyone to watch such a humourless film.
Today then I have taken one for Team Film-goer!
PS However if scenic shots and old cars is your bag... oh and girls in bikinis, then maybe it's fine. ( ... which is why it scored yet mainly bored, a four. Without the PS then 1/10).

Argumento
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesTheatrical movie debut of Jane Merrow (American Girl).
- PifiasAlthough Bill Ferguson's (Richard Todd) travel agency and apartment are located in Edinburgh, Scotland, his white Jaguar XK150 carries the number plate, VUL 867, which is a central London registration. Similarly, the Rolls Royce taxi (yes, there were Rolls Royce taxis in Edinburgh in the 1950s and later) carries the number plate NDP 63, which indicates it was registered in Reading in Berkshire in the Thames Valley, in south east England.
