Somebody in production had a sense of humor and the absurd. After all, who would think balding, fat Roger Carmel (Farnum) would be more attractive to women than sleekly handsome Peter Lawford (Ernie). What, for goodness sake, would fellow rat-packer Frank Sinatra say. But here, Farnum not only bests brother Ernie with his wife (Hyer) and mistress (London), but gets him demoted so that tubby can take his place in the company. With that kind of humiliation, what's Ernie going to do. I've got to hand it to playboy Lawford for taking such an out-of-character, loser role.
Okay, maybe the story's not too plausible. Still, we can't be sure where it's headed, so interest is maintained. Plus, there're the three babes. Maybe because they're all blonde and shapely, I had some trouble keeping track (poor me). All in all, there may be no trademark atmosphere nor eerie effects, but there is a nice slice of irony highlighting a seemingly trivial character detail. Thus, the hour remains an unpredictable oddity, especially for fans of Lawford.
