Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Bing does a Rodney Dangerfield and goes back to school in this early Edwards offering, before Breakfast at Tiffany's made his name or the Pink Panther films lodged him in a creative rut. Had you been a bona fide teenager at the time, one suspects you'd probably have hated it, but from a '90s vantage point, it's an inoffensive caper, gamely played by the old groaner and prodded along by an easygoing Henry Mancini score and some Cahn/Van Heusen songs ('The Second Time Around' picking up an Oscar).Author: TJ
