...booms music to go to pieces by. As a manic-depressive sex kitten, Carol Lynley somehow suggests that a good fortified cereal would put her back together again. McDowall and Whitman, tending the rose garden, make thorny work of it. And Actress Bacall, woefully miscast, exercises her steel-and-velvet charm as if she were running a rest home for demented Bunnies.
