For starters, Yvette Mimieux is terribly miscast as Dean Martin's not-too-bright wife. The sex kitten has more than she can contend with up against such pros as Geraldine Page and Dame Wendy Hiller.
Dean Martin most likely landed the role of the brother of the two acting legends because of his phenomenal performance five years before in "Some Came Running." Problem is that "Running" was a far better film.
Geraldine Page steals the film as Carrie, another great spinster role for the emotionally charged actress. Both she and sister, Anne, have been tending to the needs of their chronic failure brother for years. With dreams of selling the house and going off to Europe, the two spinsters live in a dream world. It is Anne who eventually comes out of the dream and sees for herself what a vicious character Page can be. Page is domineering and so full of herself.
What exactly was the business enterprise of Larry Gates with Martin? We do know that Martin had a thing going with the wife of Gates.
