Customer Reviews

HELLO MAMIE.....
The late actor Tommy Noonan did two films in the mid-60's with Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren respectively. "Promises Promises" with Mansfield and this one with Mamie Van Doren. Both resulted in Playboy spreads [...]. "Three Nuts" is the better of them in my opinion because Mamie is just more interesting to watch. The plot is really bizarre involving getting psychoanalasys for three with only one patient (Noonan, who's very funny) and the whole thing getting out of hand. Mamie plays a stripper named Saxie Symbol who's one of the ones wanting treatment. She looks fabulous [...] The film is low, low budget and alternates in b&w and color. Yet there's a looney, insane quality to it that makes you wonder what Noonan had in mind at all. And a host of character actors running around...Marjorie Bennett, one of the plumbers from "Green Acres", several others. The print from VCI is quite good for a rare piece like this. Only minor scratches and one little jumpy part. There's some partially nude shots of Mamie "behind the scenes" but the best thing is the interview with Van Doren herself. She's delightful. If you're a Van Doren fan this is a must. I hope some her 50's films get DVD release besides "Teacher's Pet". She still has a following.

Three Nuts in Search of a Bolt
The previous writer is in error. "Three Nuts in Search of a Bolt" is definitely the Mamie VanDoren movie. He has this movie confused with "Promises! Promises!" which starred Jayne Mansfield and Tommy Noonan. The confusion probably arose because both films had Playboy spreads, and both co-starred Tommy Noonan.

"Three Nuts" is a funny film and for the writer to give it one star just because he had to give it something does a disservice to the movie and Amazon customers.

Three Nuts In Search Of A Bolt
This movie is for the Mamie Van Doren fans. The movie is not important unless you love her and I do. She strips and takes a beer bath and keeps saying "It don't taste like tomatoe juice". No idea what that means. Out of all her films this one is a must.
