The Pleasure Seekers (1964), 5

Watched online, good print.

4 songs in the Soundtracks, each sung by AM. She doesn't do much dancing here, which is her better skill.

Shouldn't be tagged Musical, but I won't fight it.

Pushing the envelope farther into smutty territory, here AM is shown in bed after pursuing her love. Nothing definite, but highly unlikely to be innocent. CL & PT remain "pure", and each gets a man by the closing credits, although CL gets a new boss, not yet a love interest (just friends?).

Best dancing was some mediocre flamenco.

My life would have been complete without seeing this.
