Sex and the Single Girl

About This Movie

Sex and the Single Girl, directed by Richard Quine, is a quirky romp that blends comedy and romance in a way that captures the spirit of the early 60s. The pacing is lively, with sharp dialogue and plenty of amusing situations that stem from the clever premise. Tony Curtis plays the reporter with a certain charm—he’s got that classic suave vibe but also a touch of scoundrel. The film dances around themes of gender roles and societal expectations, often with a playful wink. The performances, especially by Natalie Wood as the psychologist, elevate the material, creating a lively dynamic. Plus, it’s interesting to see how it reflects the evolving views on relationships during that era. The practical effects and set design also have a distinct vintage flair that adds to its charm.
