6/10
Cleo Moore romps around

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those silly, silly stories that the major studios used to cook up in order to make an exploitation feature without breaking or even bending Hollywood's stringent self-censorship regulations. We are asked to believe that this chippie will use every means to get ahead -- will lie and cheat, make false representations, suppress evidence, use blackmail and extortion -- and yet will remain as virginally pure as Snow White! But for devote addicts of light -- very light -- voyeurism, the script does provide plenty of excuses for Cleo Moore to romp around in bathing suits and leotards. No doubt Miss Moore's fans will find her reasonably appealing. The support cast is also adequate, and the script has enough plot twists to sustain the interest through some very boring romantic encounters between Miss Moore and Mr. Crenna. Lewis Seiler's direction has skill, although it will not excite the connoisseur. Henry Freulich's photography shows more distinction. In fact, production values are well above the usual "B" standard.
