The Movie Explorer: The Swinger (1966)

Ann-Margret (Tommy) has to prove to girlie magazine editor Tony Franciosa (The Finder of Lost Loves) that she's a "swinger" to get her story published. Three's Company-style misunderstandings, horrific sexism and tacky 60s kitsch are the result.

Ann-Margret is a Goddess, though.

The first of my reviews I’m actually somewhat proud of, my delivery has improved a good deal since the first two. And natural lighting is far more flattering. If I did this one today, I would have edited it with a hatchet, too many gags drag on for far too long. And I had to re-loop some lines with a crappy, 1970s-vintage microphone and it’s glaringly obvious. Still, this review does what it sets out to do.
