Reception
Variety wrote: "Occasionally sophisticated and also relying on some inside gags that would register only in Hollywood, the Albert Zugsmith film is basically an okay slapstick satire on contemporary sex symbols and psychiatry heightened by optical and musical gimmicks ...Pic makes no lavish production pretense, and there are none. The LSD scene, while no great social commentary, is, in its own way, sufficiently offbeat to give an audience pause. This is because no one likes to appear the fool, but, to a turned-off person, another who is turned on is just that." Boxoffice wrote: "This Albert Zugsmith-Famous Players effort, teaming some of the readily recognizable comedy talents on the Hollywood scene, among them Robert Strauss, plus some lithesome lovelies, should find admirably paced acceptance in the larger, more cosmopolitan centers. ... Gratifyingly, the film is played for laugh effects and doesn't attempt any significant soul-searching. Zugsmith has directed with wryly winning touches, stressing at all times constant movement within the sphere and scope of frenetic 'show biz'." ==References==
