- Quotes
Content Delville: In this neck of the woods, one does not hunt or trap without the proper licence. You see? Paul Delville - off limits! Fini!
Katrin Sveg: Am I to understand that you forbid me to borrow your husband?
Content Delville: Borrow, beg or steal.
Katrin Sveg: I appreciate your interest in the matter but is it really up to you?
Content Delville: Up to me?
Katrin Sveg: I don't mind discussing it with you, if it makes you feel better. However, I do think we ought to respect Mr Delville is the heart of the matter. He's mature, he's a free citizen of the United States, and fully capable of making his own decisions. I outlined my plan to him and I must say he has reacted most favourably thus far.
Content Delville: Oh, he has?
Katrin Sveg: Until I hear from him that he is off-limits, I intend to proceed as scheduled.
Content Delville: Oh, you do?
Katrin Sveg: Mrs Delville, for your own sake I ask you to think carefully. I'm younger, prettier, stronger, bigger and more intelligent than you. Don't fight it.

Silly sex comedy. This was based on a VERY successful Broadway play. However what worked on stage does NOT translate to the screen at all (this was not a hit). The plot is pretty dumb and probably an insult to Swedish people. It has incredibly dated sexual politics (even for 1961) and a discussion on infidelity is more funny than shocking. What saves this from being totally unwatchable are the actors. Mason and Newmar are very good in their roles and Hayward is excellent in hers. Also their house is stunning to look at. But, all in all, this is a forgettable movie. I give it a 4.
