The Swinger is a 1966 American sex comedy film directed by George Sidney and starring Ann-Margret and Anthony Franciosa.

But when her hoax is revealed, he decides to get revenge by insisting that Kelly pose for a provocative layout for the magazine to prove she is as wild as she claims.

Sidney says the script for Viva Las Vegas had been written in eleven days in order to meet a commitment and The Swinger was similar.

"The studio had a commitment and needed to fulfil it... We devised a script that would give Ann-Margret an opportunity to show her facets.

"[5] Filmink called it "s a hopelessly confused comedy" which "feels like it was written by someone while drunk and Tony Franciosa is yet another male lead not worthy of the star" arguing "this film, a vehicle geared entirely around Ann-Margret’s talents, came close to killing her Hollywood career more than any other by virtue of its sheer incompetence.
