Acting
Sandra Dee's baffled 'mother' energy is unintentionally hilarious.

Al Adamson
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Sandra Dee's final theatrical film—she retired from acting shortly after, possibly as a direct result of seeing the dailies.
Director Al Adamson was later murdered and buried under his own hot tub; this film is somehow not his most disturbing legacy.
