Richard Burton stars as Larry Shannon, a disgraced man of the cloth who leaves the states for Puerto Vallarta, and becomes a tour guide. On this particular tour, his guests are a bunch of female college professors and their teenage charge, Charlotte Goodall. Charlotte is what you may call "fast" and quickly sets to work on Shannon. Shannon is already a sex addict to begin with, so you can imagine Charlotte doesn't actually have to work that hard. The leader of the trip, Miss Fellowes (Grayson Hall), valiantly tries to keep Charlotte away from Shannon as she doesn't trust him, but is ultimately unsuccessful, resulting in several phone calls, the chance Shannon may lose his job, and further conflict between Miss Fellowes and Shannon.
Gardner plays the owner of the motel the group ends up staying at, and they are all quickly joined by Kerr, an artist, and her grandfather, the oldest practicing poet (at age 97). The remainder of the story surrounds the professors and their journey in getting out of Puerto Vallarta, and the love triangle between Burton, Gardner, and Kerr. Overall, I'd say this was enjoyable enough. I was not all that impressed with Burton, though. From all the praise I've seen thrown his way, I was expecting a lot more. Gardner is not what one would call a "great actress" but she is certainly good in everything I've seen her in. And if not good, then certainly enjoyable. Kerr was excellently cast as the "moral compass."
