Lieutenant Riccardo Andrade ([Enrique Lucero](/source/Enrique_Lucero)) of the Mexican police interviews three suspects. Hank Walker ([Hugh O'Brian](/source/Hugh_O'Brian)) is another beach boy who works as a [gigolo](/source/Gigolo) as well as blackmails vacationing middle-aged American women. Pete Jordan ([Cliff Robertson](/source/Cliff_Robertson)) is a former beach boy who married rich American Kit ([Lana Turner](/source/Lana_Turner)). She met Pete when he was selling his blood and bought all of him. The dead man was wearing a bracelet engraved "LOVE IS THIN ICE," which the police discover was given to him by Kit.

In addition to the police, the dead American's deserted girlfriend, Carol Lambert ([Stefanie Powers](/source/Stefanie_Powers)), comes to Mexico to find out about her former boyfriend's death. ## Cast - [Lana Turner](/source/Lana_Turner) as Katherine Lawson "Kit" Chandler Jordan - [Cliff Robertson](/source/Cliff_Robertson) as Pete Jordan [2] - [Hugh O'Brian](/source/Hugh_O'Brian) as Hank Walker - [Ruth Roman](/source/Ruth_Roman) as Margot Eliot - [Stefanie Powers](/source/Stefanie_Powers) as Carol Lambert - [Virginia Grey](/source/Virginia_Grey) as Irene Talbot - [Ron Husmann](/source/Ron_Husmann) as Chuck Austin - [Enrique Lucero](/source/Enrique_Lucero) as Lieutenant Riccardo Andrade - [Carlos Montalbán](/source/Carlos_Montalb%C3%A1n) as Don Julian - [Jaime Bravo](/source/Jaime_Bravo) as Manuel Perez - [Fanny Schiller](/source/Fanny_Schiller) as Maria - René Dupeyrón as Ramos ## Critical reception The *[New York Times](/source/New_York_Times)* was unimpressed: “Everything has been done to make Lana Turner feel at home in *Love Has Many Faces*, starting geographically. The picture, shot in color in Acapulco and Mexico City, provides a radiant background of natural scenery and swanky interiors as befits a glamour queen...It’s all here—everything but a good picture. For this dramatic Columbia round-up of some resort parasites...is the glossiest kind of junk, even for Miss Turner. If ever baloney needed mustard, it was yesterday. There must have been some lying around Acapulco Beach, along with the cast...Miss Turner is finally done in by a bull. That’s right—a bull. There’s plenty of it in *Love Has Many Faces*.”[3] ## See also - [List of American films of 1965](/source/List_of_American_films_of_1965) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Anticipated rentals accruing distributors in North America.
