Bachelor in Paradise (film)

Bachelor in Paradise is a 1961 American Metrocolor, CinemaScope romantic comedy film starring Bob Hope and Lana Turner.Niles is a provocative best-selling author who discovers he was ripped off by his accountant, Herman Wapinger, and owes a large tax debt.Under the alias, Jack Adams, Niles goes undercover in a California suburban community called Paradise Village to research a new book about the wives and lives there.[8] Before the film was released they requested Hal Kanter to start writing a sequel, An Armful of Girls, with Hope as a married man chased over Europe by titled ladies.[10] The New York Times said the movie "has enough sharp gags to make [Hope's] recent TV spectaculars unspectacular even though the romantic antics on which it is all pegged are somewhat less than inspired.
