User review:

While Hardy Kruger is fluent in several languages, James Mason is not. So in The Uninhibited, Hardy walks around Spain speaking Spanish – and James gets dubbed. It’s very funny, but this movie isn’t really a comedy. Hardy goes to Spain on vacation and falls for James’s girlfriend, Melina Mercouri. James is a novelist in every sense of the word: a party animal, broad-minded, and not very responsible. He has a son he doesn’t raise and a string of young girls constantly coming and going from his bedroom. It’s no wonder Melina doesn’t think twice before hopping into bed with Hardy (not to mention how cute he is).
