Enjoying this mid-60s gem, perfectly described in all its awfulness in the TCM guide. But it has several gems to merit. Glenn Campbell singing "One of those Things," but unfortunetly constantly interupted by the Debbie Walley wannabe Debbie Watson. In addition to his cameo, the best part is what I believe is the initial public airing of "This Town," as Watson walks dejectedly down Sunset Strip after being fired. Don't think it became the Frank Sinatra hit until after this film. Lee Hazelwood wrote it, and went on to work with Nancy Sinatra, including These Boots are Made for Walking, and wrote It Never Rains in Southern California, and was a cult figure in late 60s music..
You might be more familiar with This Town as the tune for Paul Schaffer's parody intro on Letterman's Small Town News.
