Review of Sex and the Single Girl (1964) by Brian B — 26 Feb 2008

I was actually very pleasantly surprised by Sex and the Single Girl. I think it could be just that I really love mid 60's comedies. This one is not very original, and really quite predictable, but it is still very entertaining.

The story is about a young psychologist named Helen Brown (the gorgeous Natalie Wood) who has recently had a very slanderous story written about her in a top tabloid. The writer of that article (Tony Curtis) wants a follow up article so he poses as his neighbor who is having marital problems and gets an appointment to see Dr.

Brown. Everything seems to be going fine for his story up until the point where he realizes he's in love with her. The film ends with one of the most hilarious car chase scenes this reviewer has ever seen.

Definately worth seeing in my opinion. Lauren Bacall and Henry Fonda are also pretty good as the dysfunctional neighbors. Overall 3.5/4 Stars Grade = B.
