Yes, an apt title if ever there was one! Were it not for James Whitmore's splendid performance, and his delightful aversion to "bugs", plus a few high-spirited moments in Alan Rafkin's direction (for example, in the chase along the sea-shore), I would most definitely have found it somewhat of a chore to sit through this movie. As it unfolds on the screen, it turns out to be a rather tedious and long- winded "comedy", burdened with a cast that – aside from Whitmore – is totally lacking in appeal. I also found the script to be in poor taste. True, you can't blame the stars, Doug McClure and Nancy Kwan, for lapses in the script and direction, but they could have followed Whitmore's lead. Instead, they gave the impression that they were not making any efforts at all. The splendid photography by Robert H. Wyckoff and the superb music score by Irving Gertz also deserved better.
