Bachelor Flat (1962)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Frank Tashlin
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Terry-Thomas is an archaeology professor at a southern California college. He lives in a beach house and can't keep the women away. A law student who lives in a trailer next door has similar problems. Young Tuesday Weld shows up and moves in under the pretense of recently escaping jail, but she is really the daughter of Thomas' fiance. Weld adopts a "dumb" persona to throw him off track, which really makes her character unbearable. The slapstick comedy never really works, but there might be a chuckle or two from a dachshund who has a fondness for dinosaur bones.
