This film essentially begins with two attractive young ladies named "Anne Carr" (Mary Ann Mobley) and "Helen Todd" (Lana Wood) moving in with their friend "Nydia Walker" (Ann Elder) who lives in an apartment complex that rents exclusively to singles. Quite naturally, with so many young single people of both genders congregating in the same area, there is quite a bit of dating and romance going around. So much so that Anne initially becomes so annoyed with men trying to pick her up that she is secretly given the nickname of "Old Ironsides" by some of her male suitors. This, in turn, leads a couple of them to offer a wager to their friend named "Bret Hendley" (John Saxon) that he cannot seduce her within a week. Needing money, Bret reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, Helen has also attracted the notice of a rather wealthy man by the name of "Gerald Pryor" (Peter Mark Richman). However, unlike Anne, Helen welcomes this attention. However, with this attention also comes an intense jealousy from Gerald's current girlfriend "Lily" (Chris Noel) who is quite determined to keep him at all costs. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this comedy started off rather light and breezy and, along with several attractive women there to further enhance the scenery, it seemed to have all of the ingredients necessary for a decent comedy. But then it took a very dark turn at the end which totally ruined the overall effect. That being said, I'm honestly not sure what the director (Arthur Dreifuss) or his people were thinking, but one thing I can say is that this specific scene was definitely not funny and had no business being included in a comedy. But that is just may opinion and others are free to disagree. Be that as it may, I didn't care for this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

One of those B-movies that flooded drive-ins when I was a kid. This one's about an apartment building where the manager (Milton Berle) only rents to singles. It plays like a trashy soap opera, with the characters involved in different story lines. John Saxon is always nice to look at, however.

Has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I love anything made in the 1960s due to the cars, clothes music etc. But this doesn't even have much of any of those. Lana Wood is pretty, so is Chris Noel who plays a tramp pretty well. But Ann Elders is just abysmal. Her acting abilities were shown to their full extent on Laugh In or maybe a 2 minute sketch on "Love American Style" but her constant mugging and looking off in weird directions is distracting here. John Saxon is hot as always Peter Mark Richman plays a degenerate sleazebag well as he has done in other movies like "House on Greenapple Road". Even the music in this sucked. The only musical segment that had a groovy beat was prior to Lana getting raped. You always know a rape is looming when you hear a buzz guitar...LMFAO! Not much plot in this turkey just about a bunch of singles living in an apartment complex and the various goings on. Part of the problem with this movie is that it fluctuates bizarrely between comedy and drama and doesn't do either one very well. Watch at your own risk you may need brain surgery after.
