...checked polo coat and matching shorts, or with a pony-skin raincoat. If she would rather be Tom Sawyer, Chester Weinberg has just the thing: avocado green velvet overalls that come to midcalf, and are topped by a lace-trimmed blouse. With George Stavropoulos, she can play the Greek goddess in classical floor-length gowns trailing yards of filmy chiffon...
...Happening. "Is it real, is it fake?" yammer the Supremes over the picture's titles. "Is this game of life a mistake?" Indeed it is, at least in this film. Three fun-burned Miami boys and a girl in search of the beach goddess, Kicks, decide to kidnap a wealthy racketeer (Anthony Quinn). As it happens, Quinn is unredeemable. Desperate phone calls reveal that his wife and partner are cuckolding him ("For $200,000 you can keep the son of a bitch," she snarls). His Mafia associates refuse to extend their black hand; even his mother would rather help...

It can be too much, even if you are prepared to accept most anything...
...there must be excesses, let them be of talent. The young director, Francis Ford Coppola, generally exploits his medium well. For example, the hero is with plain-Jane but his mind is on bitch-goddess. How do you know? Because her name suddenly appears on the electrotape news around the Times Building and her go-go body lights up a neon sign...
