Where better for a bachelor to blend in and find plenty of targets then the Big Apple of the 1960's? For William Traylor, those happy, Carefree days of bachelorhood are coming to an end, and for fiancee Dagne Crane, the discovery of his diary riddles exactly what she will be getting herself into, finding details about his private life prior to their meeting that he had not made her aware of. She opens her diary, reads the first centage about his desire to end his bachelorhood, and promptly shuts it. You see, even though it doesn't mention her by name, it definitely gives the impression of what he would think of the unknown girl who he realizes at some point will trap him.
This film flashes back to his many dates and indeed, there have been many conquests. The variety of women shows the plethora of eccentric artist types and vixens in a variety of professions, which includes one encounter with someone from the oldest profession, and a few of those women indicate why he has remained single this long. Along the way there is his best friend Joe Silver, a great sidekick to have around, and in fact, he's the most interesting character in the film. The women overall aren't very trustworthy, and he keeps getting into trouble, especially when Crane confronts him over his diary and storms out and another woman shows up.
There's some great location footage utilized, showing areas of New York City that aren't often shown on film, and that's one of the most interesting doctors of this film. Traylor is decent, but not really very interesting, and Eleni Kianos, who keeps showing up as a very aggressive woman, is annoying. I wanted to find out who the actress was who briefly showed up as Traylor's mother, but she appears to be unbilled. Among his other friends are Dom DeLuise and Mickey Deems, playing other confirmed bachelors in a card sequence. The issue with this film for me Isn't the fact that it's a bad film. It's just not very interesting outside of the elements that I praise above, although the twist ending was surprising.
