How to Put Lead in Your Pencil
30 October 2010
The men of colorfully picturesque Madrid are in for a treat when three of America's finest looking women - redhead Ann-Margret (as Fran Hobson), blonde Carol Lynley (as Maggie Williams), and brunette Pamela Tiffin (as Susie Higgins) - arrive with romance on their minds. One look at these three, and you know attracting men isn't going to be a problem. They have trouble remembering the Spanish word for "No!" and hook up with a tall, dark, and handsome trio - respectively, the lucky males turn out to be André Lawrence (as Andrés Briones), Gardner McKay (as Pete McCoy), and Tony Franciosa (as Emilio Lacayo).

Veterans Brian Keith and Gene Tierney get lost in all the youthful attractiveness.

Now, you probably know about Ann-Margret, who does not disappoint - she even has a bikini dance. But, Ms. Lynley and Ms. Tiffin - both good-looking women, but perhaps known more as actresses than sex symbols - assume much of the same "sex kitten" posturing. So, "The Pleasure Seekers" is really a triple header. The trio takes turns wearing pink, and know how to move inside their "baby doll" bed clothes. The contest is to see who can give the most arousing performance, and you're the winner. This must be the epitome of feminine sexiness in the mid-sixties. Probably, there was a plot somewhere - and a few songs, too.

I need a shower...
