- 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.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Biography: Julie Newmar: The Cat's Meow (2000)
The two play a pair of married professors and the film is done in the format of both of them giving a lecture on some recent trial their marriage went through. The trial came in the person of blond statuesque Swede Julie Newmar who is the daughter of a colleague that Mason knows. He knew Julie as a child, but she's all grown up now and fully developed in all the right places.
Mason's considered a genius and Newmar who has an IQ to match her measurements is brutally frank in what she wants. She wants Mason, but she's not clear in why she wants him at first. Simply for breeding purposes. She wants him to father a super genius child. Today I'm sure Mason might just donate his sperm.
Well whether for romance or breeding Hayward ain't having any. Such is the basis of this comedy which on Broadway had a 431 performance run for 1958-1960. It's slight and amusing and probably played better on stage on the one scene in the living room of the Mason/Hayward home. Still fans of the stars will like it.
