Hogan owns and operates the Centaur Apartment complex. He rents the units to young women only at less than half their market value in order to spy on them lasciviously and seduce them. After Hogan's latest conquest, Dr. Irene Wilson, a college professor, moves out when their romance goes sour, Hogan is more than happy to rent that apartment to blonde college student Robin Austin. Hogan is even happier when he learns Robin will have a slightly taller brunette roommate. What Hogan doesn't initially know is that Robin is Irene's student and niece, and that Robin's roommate will be her boyfriend, fellow college student David Manning. Not wanting to mistake lust for love, Robin convinced a sexually frustrated David - with who she has not yet had sex - to this platonic cohabitation arrangement solely to see if they are truly compatible as people before they decide to get married. When Hogan finds out about David and the arrangement, he tries subversively to thwart any romance between Robin and David, all the while trying to get Robin for himself. Once Irene finds out about Robin and David's arrangement, she tries first to ensure that they stick to the agreement and second that Hogan isn't trying any funny business with Robin, all in the name of protecting her niece. Irene, a professor of Education for Marriage, may be able to add some professional wisdom and first hand knowledge of Hogan to help the process along.

| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniEven with Lemmon bouncing in and out of comic situations, the comedy gets a little strained at times. |
| User ReviewStar TThis was a good movie, pretty funny! And not to mention...pretty wild for back in the 60's! |
| User ReviewI'm El Capitano! AI absolutely love Jack Lemmon!!!! This is such a funny film...a man trying very hard not to ruin the purity of the woman he is madly in love with. Great Perseverance!!!!! |
| User ReviewBrian BIt is really a darn shame that Under the Yum Yum Tree is not available on DVD, it is so entertaining. Story of a young sorority girl who moves into an apartment with her boyfriend under the circumstances they don't sleep together to test their compatibility. The problems arise when the lusty landlord living next door, who had had relationships with all previous tenants and didn't plan to stop with this one. Jack Lemmon is absolutely hilarious as the landlord, and Carol Lynley is absolutely ravishing and quite funny as well as the tenant and Dean Jones is also very good as her boyfriend. Definately one worth watching, try to catch it on TCM as I think that's the only way you'll get the chance. Overall 3.5/4 Stars Grade = B+ |
| User ReviewByron BThis film just put me in a good mood. Although the major themes were not new...it was a story that seemed ahead of its time. Great seeing Jack Lemon's diversity as an actor coming off the high of winning an Oscar earlier that year. |
| User ReviewKaitlyn LOne of my all time favorite movies. Jack Lemmon rocks my socks! |
| User ReviewGreg WSo far I have yet to see a bad Jack Lemmon film, but it was odd seeing Jack cast as a sleazy, womanizing landlord. |
| User ReviewJohn GCute sex comedy starring the ever brilliant Jack lemmon as the gigilo & Carol Lynley as the new neighbour. |
| User ReviewJoel TJack Lemmon plays his usual off the hinge character, but does so hear with a distinct sexual edge. Funny movie, pushes limits for '63. |
| User ReviewMelissa SI think Paul Lynde stole the movie- Jack Lemmon was good as always, but Carol Lynley was just there..... |
