Title: Dated But Still Entertaining
Review: THE TENDER TRAP is a movie about a New York bachelor (Frank Sinatra) who has a bevy of girls flowing through his New York apartment to the amazement of his old friend (David Wayne). Wayne is a married man from Indiana who is visiting without his family and staying with Sinatra. A seemingly naive but determined young actress (Debbie Reynolds) from Scarsdale eventually puts an end to Sinatra's fun by springing her own tender trap. Before this happens she gets a lot of competition from a slightly older woman (Celeste Holm). At one point Sinatra is engaged to both women.The film may be quite dated but it is still entertaining. The supporting cast includes Carolyn Jones and Lola Albright.Charles Walters also directed EASTER PARADE and HIGH SOCIETY. THE TENDER TRAP received an Oscar nomination in 1955 for Best Song ("Love is the Tender Trap").
