The movie, which contains four songs, is a sex farce about two male friends who find themselves at a hotel that is supposed to be for honeymooners only. Unusual for its time, the film centers on an interracial romance (involving characters played by Robert Goulet and Nancy Kwan) but the racial difference is never mentioned or even alluded to.
Plot
Jay Menlow breaks up with his fiancée, Cynthia, just before his wedding. He decides to still use his honeymoon accomodation—an hotel on a tropical island. He takes along his best friend, the womanizing bachelor Ross Kingsley, who is meant to be representing his boss, Sampson, at a convention.
Jay and Ross arrive at the hotel and realize that guests are usually restricted to honeymooning couples. Ross manages to date the hotel's only single girl, Lynn, the social director, who is a friend of Cynthia's. Jay wants to get back with Cynthia but Ross discourages it.
Sampson arrives at the hotel with a beautiful girl, Sherry, who knows Ross. Shortly afterwards, Cynthia arrives, as does Mrs. Sampson. Lynn thinks Sherry is Ross's girl and Cynthia thinks Sherry is with Jay.
Ross manages to keep his job and unites with Lynn. Jay dumps Cynthia and winds up with Sherry.
The film was based on an original script. Henry Levin wanted Dolores Hart, who he had directed in two previous movies, to play one of the female leads but she decided to become a nun.[2]
The movie was once known as His and Hers? and His and His.[3]
Filming started October 1963 and took place at MGM studios.[4]
Reception
The Los Angeles Times said "it's fun for a while, then one wishes for more material."[5]
Goulet's wife, Carol Lawrence, wrote that the film was "a disaster".[6]
