All In A Night's Work (1961)

When a mystery woman (Shirley MacLaine) is seen running out of the hotel room of a New York publishing baron clad only in a towel and the man turns up dead, his nephew and heir (Dean Martin) attempts to track her down. He suspects as his Uncle's mistress, she will attempt to extort money from the publishing company and he wants to stop any scandal at any cost. Based on the play by Owen Elford and directed by Joseph Anthony (THE RAINMAKER). Most sex comedies of the early to mid 1960s had very little actual sex in them, it was mostly just sexual innuendo which allowed the audience to snicker and smirk and not be offended. This one follows that path but some of it is funny and there are enough amusing moments to give it a pass. Shirley MacLaine is adorable and you can see why she became a popular star very quickly and Dean Martin is ..... well, Dean Martin. With Cliff Robertson, Jack Weston, Norma Crane, Charles Ruggles, Ian Wolfe, Gale Gordon, Mabel Albertson, Harriet MacGibbon and Rosemarie Bowe (Mrs. Robert Stack).
