This is a trailer for the 1967 sex farce, "A Guide for the Married Man", directed by Gene Kelly and staring Walter Matthau, Robert Morse, and Inger Stevens. Aside from being littered with good looking women, the film is probably best remembered for the classic Joey Bishop vignette "Deny, Deny, Deny," which has come to be regarded as the ultimate defense when caught cheating.
By today's standards, A Guide for Married Man is dated, unrepentantly sexist, and corny. The low brow perv humor carries all the comedic gravitas of a hubba hubba joke. Young swinging sexpots wiggle their butts in tight outfits, while balding lecherous men plot sexual adventure, make off-color comments, and fiddle with their drinks and twizzle sticks--eyes bulging ever time a women bends over. But then, what's not to like about seeing a cloddish toupee-wearing old perv inexplicably landing the hottest babe in the room? What's not to like about watching some douche from your dad's Elks Lodge making time with the likes of a Linda Harrison or a Jayne Mansfield? It could happen! I swear it.
Camp value aside, the movie is notable for its a large number of cameos by Hollywood comedians and starlets of the period, including Lucille Ball, Jayne Mansfield, Carl Reiner, Jack Benny, Sid Caesar, Art Carney, Joey Bishop, Linda Harrison, Sue Ane Langdon, Majel Barrett, Wally Cox, Phil Silvers, and others.
Oh yeah, and it opens with a bitchin little number by 60's nerd rockers, The Turtles.
