The ensuing merriment slows down to a stop before the film is over, although Hope utters dozens of snappy wisecracks in his copyrighted fashion...

Rating: C --
A disappointing, unfunny Bob Hope farce that he could have done in his sleep.

Rating: C --
The mild comedy is predictable and trite, in other words it's a typical Bob Hope vehicle.

Later Bob Hope vehicle suffers due to "hip" script about swinging bachelor.

Description by OLDIES.com:
America was sprawling away from Main Street, transforming into a nation of bedroom communities within easy commute of the office. But what's going on in those bedrooms? Bob Hope intends to find out when he plays a Bachelor in Paradise. Always quick with a quip, Hope portrays Arthur J. Niles, noted author of books that offer worldly advice while documenting the lifestyles and love life of various cultures. His newest study: Paradise Village, a rambling new suburb in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. Lana Turner, in her only screen teaming with the comedy legend, portrays the stylish unmarried femme who works in the tract's sales office. Ah, looks like Paradise may somehow lose a bachelor but gain a comedy.
Product Description:
Romance author Hope goes undercover in a suburban California community in order to produce a best-selling expose on the mating habits of the natives. His plan goes awry when the housewives are (inexplicably) attracted to him. Turner's presence adds a sexy zip to the proceedings. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("Bachelor in Paradise").
