Plot

In the glitzy world of tabloid journalism, Sex and the Single Girl (1964) unfurls its story against the backdrop of scandal, intrigue, and unexpected romance. Bob Weston, a suave and seasoned reporter at the helm of a thriving yet lurid tabloid magazine, thrives on sex-laden scoops. His latest quarry is the radiant and quick-witted Helen Gurley Brown, a 23-year-old psychologist who has shot to fame with her best-selling book, "Sex and the Single Girl." When Weston's reputation as an exploitative writer precedes him, leaving him with no chance of securing an interview with Brown, he resorts to cunning subterfuge. He assumes the identity of his friend and neighbor, Frank Broderick - a hosiery tycoon stuck in a marriage riddled with jealousy. Disguised as a troubled patient, Weston embarks on a series of therapeutic sessions with the attractive Dr. Brown. This facade, crafted to yield headlines and boost sales, takes an unforeseen twist when the womanizing Weston finds himself enmeshed in an emotional whirlwind, falling for the psychologist he sought to exploit. This kaleidoscope of misadventures and romantic entanglements illuminates the plot of Sex and the Single Girl, as it spins a tale of deception, desire, and the surprising turns of the human heart.
