You can't just walk out on a marriage like walkin' out of a phone booth.
Unfortunately, I could only find an old copy that was uploaded on youtube. It's terrible quality—some of the worst I've watched—so I can't judge it by how it looks.
The story is at least interesting. It's quippy and funny with a few quotable lines (at least in the beginning), but it's not nearly as entertaining or funny as the two previous Zugsmiths I've watched (maybe because this has a co-director).
For 1960, it has an amazing car sequence mixed in with the usual background projections.
It starts black and white, but then 28 minutes in decides to be color. It's not very colorful though. It's…

From the sensitive, high-class producer/director Albert Zugsmith, whose films include SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE, CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER, and THE INCREDIBLE SEX REVOLUTION, comes THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ADAM AND EVE. The mismatched couple of Mamie Van Doren (GIRLS TOWN) and Martin Milner (ROUTE 66) as the world’s original lovers. Well, to be exact, they play stranded bus passengers who fall asleep in a church during a flood and dream they’re Adam and Eve. Not dumb enough? How about Mickey Rooney, credited as a co-director with Zugsmith, as Satan in red tights and a cape? In many of his scenes, sexy women are fawning over him — surely a creative decision made by director Rooney. No film starring…

This movie contains the line "Once they called her Bobby Sox. Now they call her Baby Sex“ Thats really all you need to know

I can only assume Mickey Rooney was very horny when he made this film.
Which is not supposed to be an excuse, merely an attempt at an explanation.

That scene in the end where they wake up and had the dream is literally Brittany and Santana waking up at the dentist having the same dream that they were Britney and Madonna in the "Me Against the Music" video and I found that so funny.
I only watched this because I wanted to watch more adaptations on biblical stories for my book and I actually wasted an hour of my life, was it camp and was the dialogue bizarre knowing the context of the time sure.
Why would the ladies not give away their coconut, because they were training for the big league, I assume that there was actual effort into the set design, costume design and cinematography but…

If you’ve watched Albert Zugsmith’s SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE (1960) and think it may be the worst movie ever made…check out this gem from A.Z. and Mickey Rooney. Absolutely awful!

My goal was to watch a very obscure movie, which I did, but at what cost?! I can’t even describe what this was. I didn’t enjoy this religious adventure.
“You’re a woman not a cemetery.” Slayed and buried.

The Private Lives of Adam and Eve (1960 - b/w) - Silly quasi-biblical folly with a tour bus, Mamie Van Doren and the devil himself - Mickey bloody Rooney - who codirected.
-
Goofy, low rent schlock directed by Rooney as a burlesque show. Not a good movie but if you go in with no expectations it can be fun in a messy way. Fay Spain, Mamie Van Doren and Tuesday Weld, very early in her career, are all beautiful woman and Martin Milner is in peak physical condition, vital since he spends 80% of his screen time in a tiny loincloth, so their are visual treats but the movie is a meandering jumble.
