Dialogue and direction are no better. In fact, The Las Vegas Story, at best, is a pretty perverse piece of entertainment. Unfortunately, not even this can be said for the co-feature, Harem Girl, which is merely dull. This weird little mess features Joan Davis, an aging comedienne, and a group of obese Arabs.

After weeks of tabloid ballyhoo, curious patrons, including her Texas playboy husband Sheppard King, packed into a Miami Beach nightclub for the American premiere of Samia Gamal's torso-twisting harem dance. In bare feet, a gossamer pink skirt slit down the middle, gold tassels glittering round her bare midriff, Samia slithered through four minutes of her "real oriental art."

One Schiaparelli model looked like an oldtime Bloomer Girl (see cut) in an evening gown consisting of a short halter and harem-type underskirt. By comparison, conservative Hattie Carnegie's trim, attractive "spider web" evening gown looked just the thing most U.S. males would like to see their wives...
