Promises! Promises! (1963)

Member Rating:

Jayne Mansfield bares almost all (and became the first Hollywood actress to do so) in this nearly universally panned sex comedy from the early 1960s. In the story, poor Sandy is desperate to get pregnant. Unfortunately, her husband, a television script writer, is too wound up over his high stress job to make love to her at night even though he too, wants a child. To help him loosen up, they go on a relaxing cruise and meet another couple. The foursome hit it off and begin drinking heavily. They soon exchange partners and retire to their rooms. Later both wives show up pregnant, but now the question remains: which baby belongs to which father? ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

I'll be real honest - the only reason I rented this movie was to see Jayne Mansfield, and I wasn't at all disappointed. I also thought it was kind of cool seeing Mickey Hargitay in the same film since he and Jayne Mansfield were married at one time. Aside from that, I thought the story being played out on the screen was a pretty good one. I thought there were a couple of corny parts, but overall the movie was pretty funny. One of the funniest (and somewhat surprising) things in the film was the intereactions the "sugar momma" and her "boy toy". They were in a few scenes throughout the movie, and it was really hilarious seeing the two of them together. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes adult humor, or to anyone who wants to appreciate Jayne Mansfield for what pretty much made her famous.

I liked this movie ok. The main thing is that the synopsis isn't correct. There are two pregnancies and some question as to the paternity but it doens't play out like the synopsis says. It's not like the couples traded partners or were swinging. It was a whole different thing. That said, I thought it drug out a little too long and alot of the nude shots of Jayne Mansfield were unnecessary, and only there for one reason, to bring men to the box office.
