Novelization
Slightly in advance of the film's release, as was the custom of the era, a paperback novelization of the film was published by Popular Library. The author was renowned crime and western novelist Marvin H. Albert, who also made something of a cottage industry out of movie tie-ins. He seems to have been the most prolific screenplay novelizer of the late '50s through mid '60s, and, during that time, the preeminent specialist at light comedy.
