"The Pleasure Seekers"

Three American young women are in Spain seeking love and careers. Its the early 60s. The sexual revolution has hit, mildly.

One of my favorite parts is listening to Tony Franciosa do a Spanish accent. The accent fluctuates between a Russian accent, Bela Lugosi, and some kind of Spanish accent.

This picture has everything including long shots of EL Greco's and Valesquez' works of art.

Anne Margaret does a nice job channeling Frank Sinatra as a young desirable female.

There is no overt nudity, but they get around earlier movie restrictions by posing the trio in their underwear as they have girl talk in their shared apartment. Its all gratuitous but fun.

What's the deal with everybody wearing orange lipstick, including the men.

Your assignment: A 500 word essay comparing "The Peasure Seekers" to "Charlie's Angels."
