Sex And The Single Girl

Starring: Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Henry Fonda, et al.

Did she or didn't she? Snoopy magazine editor Bob Weston (Tony Curtis) wants to know if Sex and the Single Girl author Helen Gurley Brown (Natalie Wood) based her book on, ahem, personal research. So he gets very personal to find out for himself! Curtis and Wood square off for a breezy battle of the sexes in this romp inspired by Brown's best seller. Veteran stars join in the comic combat: Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall deftly and deliciously play the warring couple next door to Bob. Mel Ferrer, Edward Everett Horton and Count Basie also get caught in the hilarious will-she/won't-she, should-she/shouldn't-she crossfire. Sex and the Single Girl: Watch it from cover to cover!

Customer Reviews

Fun sixties style formula.

I can not believe that Helen Gurley Brown would let them make this farce based on her book. Now let’s see if we can straighten this out before it gets confused. Sylvia and Frank Broderick (Lauren Bacall and Henry Fonda) are a couple in life who are always bickering as to whether Frank has a roving eye. Helen Gurley Brown (Natalie Wood) writes her famous book. Bob Weston, working for an unscrupulous magazine, is tasked with getting the goods on Helen. He uses Frank’s and Sylvia’s problems, pretending he is frank to accomplish the mission. Throw in another psychologist, a few women, some tickets to Fiji and Florida. A lot of misconceptions and one of the best carmaker cycles, ice cream trucks, cab, etc. scenes ever made. Will it all work out in the end? Will it ever end? They try hard to make it campy and use intentionally exaggerated acting. For some reason, it works.
