Promises! Promises!
Promises! Promises! is a 1963 American sex comedy film directed by King Donovan and starring Tommy Noonan and Jayne Mansfield, with Noonan also serving as co-writer and co-producer. Released at the end of the Production Code era and before the MPAA film rating system became effective in 1968, it was the first Hollywood film of the sound era to feature nudity by a mainstream star, with Mansfield appearing partially nude on screen. The film was banned in Chicago and several other major cities in the United States upon its release.
