Supported on such lofty principles, Ty Ty sometimes simply cannot understand how the rest of his family can be so beastly. His daughter Dahlin' Jill (Fay Spain) is the sort of Georgia peach that any man can pluck-and several do. His daughter-in-law Griselda (played by Tina Louise, the Appassionata von Climax of Broadway's Li'l Abner) plays her most important role in the hay with her brother-in-law (Aldo Ray), an event that, for one quaint reason or another, gives the fellow's wife almost as much satisfaction as it gives...

His third interest was organizing the neighborhood kids for military drill, in which he was always the commanding officer...
...with a shot that promises a good deal more than the picture delivers. There lies Brigitte, stretched from end to end of the CinemaScope screen, bottoms up and bare as a censor's eyeball. In the hard sun of the Riviera her round little rear glows like a peach, and the camera lingers on the subject as if waiting for it to ripen. Pretty soon an aging lecher (Curt Jurgens) appears, and the two converse with only a sheet between them...
