Some nice scenery of Mexico's beach playground Acapulco and some fine young specimens on the beach are the main attraction for Love Has Many Faces. As a movie it has some of the themes of Tennessee Williams's The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone if it were done by Jackie Susann.
Lana Turner gets top billing here as an aging heiress who actually married her beach boy toy Cliff Robertson. But one of the boy toy set washes up on the beach dead. His girl friend Stefanie Powers comes in from the States to find out the story. As Robertson and Turner are in a rut of some kind, Cliff makes a play for Powers. And while that's going on Hugh O'Brian who is about as far from the stern and morally upright Wyatt Earp sets his sights on Turner.
Best in the cast is another aging heiress Ruth Roman who lets nothing slip by her eyes without a comment. Definitely Marguerite Roberts the writer gave her the best lines.
I guess fun in the sun in Acapulco is reason enough for doing the film for the players. They've all done worse, but they've all done better.
