Sex and the Single Girl (1964)
Director: Richard Quine
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A coyly leering comedy, with Wood as Helen Gurley Brown (real-life author of a bestseller on marital relations), and Curtis as the smut-magazine writer out to demonstrate her lack of personal experience in sexual matters. But... oh, you guessed? That's right, they fall in love. Graceless stuff, criminally wasting Bacall and Fonda as a couple with marital problems (they're in love, but constantly quarrelling), and with Quine's moderate flair for comedy nowhere in evidence.Author: TM
