Sex and the Single Girl is a 1964 American comedy film directed by Richard Quine and starring Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Henry Fonda, Lauren Bacall, and Mel Ferrer.[1][2][3][4][5]
The film was inspired by the title of the 1962 non-fiction book Sex and the Single Girl by Helen Gurley Brown.
The film was a box office hit and one of the top 20 highest grossing films of 1964.[6] Tom Milne in the Time Out Film Guide 2009 describes the film as a "Coyly leering comedy...graceless stuff, criminally wasting Bacall and Fonda as a couple with marital problems...with Quine's moderate flair for comedy nowhere in evidence."[7] with "noise substituting for wit and style" according to Halliwell's Film & Video Guide.[8]
