I was looking at another post. Saw Wagner's name and suddenly remembered this movie. And here I thought I was the only one. This came out in 1968. So I probable saw if between then and 1973 when I went to college. That is forty years! And I can still remember scenes from it. Compiling the dossier on the people on the yacht. Wagner leaving on the helicopter. His humiliations by Peter Lawford.So why does this film stick with people? It is fun and kinda cool. Wagner doesn't start out on top. But eventually ends up their. Great locations. I would certainly pick it up. BTW-I saw Robert Wagners name when doing research on Clark Gable. Clark Gable's golf caddy at one time was------Robert Wagner. Small town Hollywood.

I, too am anxious to get a copy of this movie.I went to http://www.tcm.com/suggestamovie/index/#suggestions and suggested they find and show this movie. If anyone can they can and the more who suggest it the more likely they are to act...Meanwhile, please check me on this quote, Nikki Pine: You're not a sore loser, Jack, you're just a loser.Was it "sore", "poor", or "bad" loser? thanks in advance for any replies...Meanwhile I have to say that the minimum line guideline for submissions to comments is about as anal retentive as any I've seen in years of working and playing on line. If brevity is the soul of wit, then surely this system encourages dull drivel and if IMDb thinks this is junk padding then they know what they can do with their comments function.

This movies was so very cool, wry, challenging, ahead of it's time. Young man gets into a escalating war of nerves/ competition with the haughty, ubber mench father of his summer girlfriend, Things get very out of hand. It's a shame this is not out on a loaded DVD; maybe with Robert Wagner's star glistening on high someone will pop it out. Hope so- it's BRILLIANT. I would cast Tobey MaGuire and Dennis Farina in the remake. Chris Browne

To all the hunters of this great film please contact me as I will do the same when I find this gem. I will begin with Eddie Brandt's Saturday Matinee in North Hollywood and film clubs in Northern California. Thanks and good hunting Alan Lee Wong Stardust Productions
