KISS THEM FOR ME: Cary Grant's worst ever?

This 1957 turkey has to be a strong contender for the title of Cary Grant's worst ever movie. He's clearly too old for the part, his character is not only unsympathetic but also totally unlikeable from beginning to end; Jayne Mansfield's feeble Marilyn Monroe impression is unwatchable; the characters are constantly shouting at each other, and the story stinks of its theatrical origins. Truly terrible.
What on earth were Grant and director Stanley Donen thinking?
