Sex and the Single Girl 1964

Overview

Sex and the Single Girl is a 1964 American film categorized as a comedy and romance. The movie, which has a runtime of one hour and fifty minutes, was released in the United States on December 25, 1964. The production serves as a takeoff point from the how-to-do-it book written by Helen Gurley Brown. The story was written by Joseph Hoffman and the script was penned by Joseph Heller. The plot follows a womanizing reporter who works for a sleazy tabloid magazine. In an effort to secure an expose on the renowned psychologist Helen Gurley Brown, the reporter impersonates his own hen-pecked neighbor. This narrative structure drives the comedic developments of the film. While other films from the same year share similar titles, such as the production known as Sex and the College Girl, this specific 1964 release remains a distinct entry in the genre. The film is archived as a feature-length comedy focusing on the intersection of journalism and the professional life of a psychologist.
