Thus the Café Cristal crowd at The Diplomat in Hollywood, Fla., received a refreshing surprise last week when a new singer named Lana Cantrell announced kiddingly, "I wrote all the music, and I made the dress myself." The same club is in for the same sort of happy jolt this week when another new comer, Marilyn Maye, breezes in and limits the tributes to her piano-accompanist husband, Sammy Tucker. "Stand up, honey," she usually says, "and let them see your fat little body." Their asides aside, Lana and Marilyn are old-fashioned do-it-yourself singers with...

They tempt him with a sex moll (Linda Cristal), "just up from Puerto Rico and full of sugar cane." Will he have one lump or two? He hesitates-then takes the whole bowl...

The scheme naturally produces Cliché No. 3, a shamelessly corporeal corporal (Tony Curtis), who wins the raffle and is shipped off to spend three weeks in Cliché No. 4, Paris, with Cliché No. 5, a South American screen queen (Linda Cristal). But all at once the gravy train is stopped by Cliché No. 6: a service-nervous Nelly of a P.R. officer (King Donovan). The officer gets scared that the corporal, faced with an objective as tempting as the screen queen, will volunteer for Cliché No. 7, an action...
