Honeymoon Hotel movie storyline. When Jay Menlow (Robert Morse) breaks up with his fiancée, Cynthia, just before his wedding, he decides to use his honeymoon accomodations anyway. He takes along bachelor Ross Kingsley (Robert Goulet), who was to have been his best man, and who is supposed to be representing his boss, Sampson (Keenan Wynn), at a convention.
Their arrival upsets the tropical hotel’s management because guests are usually restricted to honeymooning couples. Ross, however, manages to date the hotel’s only single girl, Lynn, the social director. Jay, on the other hand, is bored and wants to patch up his quarrel with Cynthia (Anne Helm), but Ross manages to intercept their calls to each other and prevent a reconciliation.
Complications arise when Sampson arrives at the hotel with a beautiful girl, Sherry, followed shortly by Mrs. Sampson and then Cynthia. Lynn, thinking Sherry is Ross’s girl, leaves, as does Cynthia, who thinks Sherry is with Jay. Explanations settle the situation, with Ross managing to keep his job and win back Lynn, while Jay rids himself of the domineering Cynthia and enjoys the charms of Sherry.
Honeymoon Hotel is a 1964 American comedy film, directed by Henry Levin for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It stars Robert Goulet, Nancy Kwan, Robert Morse, and Jill St. John. The movie, which contains four songs, is a sex farce about two male friends who find themselves at a hotel that is supposed to be for honeymooners only. Unusually for its time, the film centers on an interracial romance (involving characters played by Robert Goulet and Nancy Kwan) but the racial difference is never mentioned or even alluded to.
