George Cukor directed this sanitized version of Irving Wallace's tawdry best-seller concerning a survey of the sexual habits of American women. Psychologist George C. Chapman Andrew Duggan arrives in a Los Angeles suburb with his assistant Paul Radford Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in tow. They are looking for volunteers for their sex survey, and four women raise their hands: Sarah Garnell Shelley Winters is a middle-aged woman who is having an affair with young theater director Fred Linden Ray Danton; Teresa Harnish Glynis Johns is a happily married woman who becomes attracted to brawny football player Ed Kraski Ty Hardin; Naomi Shields Claire Bloom is an alcoholic nymphomaniac who takes up with an unsavory jazz musician; and Kathleen Barclay Jane Fonda is a young widow who thinks she is frigid -- that is, until Radford makes her his personal project. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Humphrey Bogart plays one of his rare comedy roles in this jaunty excursion about three convicts - Joseph (Bogart), Albert (Aldo Ray) and Jules (Peter Ustinov) - who are plotting their escape from Devil's Island. Fate intervenes when they hide out with kindly, but inept Felix (Leo G. Carroll) and his family. Felix manages a store for his arrogant cousin Andre (Basil Rathbone), who makes the fatal mistake of stealing Albert's pet, a poisonous snake. After resolving Felix's problems, the convicts return to prison, convinced that the world is much too wicked. Based on the play by Albert Husson.

Three convicts escape from Devil's Island and arrive at a nearby French colonial town. Initially they plan to steal supplies and clothing from the local store, but they take a liking to the store owner's family (more specifically his attractive daughter) and decide to stay and help them overcome many difficulties.

Larry Delong (Randolph Scott) -- a shotgun rider on a stagecoach -- learns of a robbery plan spearheaded by Dan Marady (James Millican), who killed Delong's sister and nephew years earlier. But when Delong tries to warn the townsfolk, they suspect he's a member of Marady's gang. Our square-jawed hero must clear his name and get revenge at the same time in this modest Western drama in the vein of High Noon.
