Honeymoon Hotel is a tale of two bachelors living in New
York. One of them, Ross(Robert Goulet), is determined to continue
enjoying single life; the other, Jay(Robert Morse) is due to be
shortly married. However, when the marriage ceremony falls apart, the
two bachelors decide to use the honeymoon tickets anyway, and check
into a romantic Carribean resort. Unfortunately, they discover the
hotel is for married couples only, without a single woman guest in the
place. Ross is intent on returning to New York until he spots the
hotel's (unmarried) social director Lynn(Nancy Kwan) giving lessons
poolside; now he is suddenly just as intent on staying. Complications
arise when Ross's boss Sampson and his ditzy secretary Sherry(Jill
St. John) check in, followed by Sampson's wife and Jay's fiancee.
Funny guy Goulet and straight man Morse click as a comic team in this
film. Nancy Kwan (in another non-Asian role) has some nice comic
moments herself as the woman who cures Goulet's character of his
philandering ways, as well as one of the wildest dance numbers of her
career.
