...still-wriggling survivors include Robertson, himself a former beach bum now employed full time as the husband of Heiress Lana Turner. Having discarded poor Billy along with last season's swimming suit, Lana naturally feels a smidgen of guilt. Billy's prim fiancee (Stefanie Powers) takes it rather hard too. She arrives from Detroit in very low spirits, but soon slips into something more comfortable, persuaded by Cliff that thinking up answers for a lively lover easily beats asking questions about a defunct beau...

...cold day somewhere when the reigning American sex queen is a middle-aged housewife, but that is the situation now. Hollywood's highest flying skirts and tightest slacks now belong to Carroll Baker. Through simooms of expensive publicity, she occupies the place of Marilyn Monroe and all the Lana Turners, Jean Harlows, and Theda Baras before...
