Her partners in the debacle are a used car salesman Paul Gilbert, and a male model John Cronin. Unable to afford the doctor's fee, the three set out to find an unemployed actor to represent each of them for the price of one. After they convince the perfect candidate (Tommy Noonan) to play out each of their personalities, Doctor Myra Von (Ziva Rodann) accidentally televises the sessions worldwide. Review: One Nutty Movie! - Tommy Noonan had the distinction of appearing in the following movies: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953), with Marilyn Monroe; "Promises! Promises!" (1963), with Jayne Mansfield; and "3 Nuts In Search Of A Bolt" (1964), with Mamie Van Doren. Tommy co-wrote, directed, and starred in the third film. The scenes (in color) of Mamie Van Doren doing a strip tease, and taking a beer bath, are worth the price of the DVD. The rest of the movie is in black-and-white, which adds to its strangeness. The premise of the film is unique, to say the least. Tommy Noonan (as himself) is hilarious when he acts out the psychological problems of sexually frustrated stripper Saxie Symbol (Mamie Van Doren), alcoholic car salesman Joe Lynch (Paul Gilbert), and kleptomaniacal narcissist Bruce Bernard (John Cronin). His session with the psychiatrist is supposed to be broadcast on closed circuit television to other psychiatrists. It is accidentally broadcast on network television, and is a smash hit! Tommy Noonon was ahead of his time, in this era of "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew," and similar shows on television. In the interview with Mamie Van Doren, she mentions how Tommy Noonan wanted to include out-takes from the film, and show them at the end of the movie, or even during the closing credits. That didn't happen, but it certainly did in later movies, such as the 1979 movie "Being There," which starred Peter Sellers. Tommy Noonan was a very creative comedian who left us much too soon. Review: HELLO MAMIE..... - The late actor Tommy Noonan did two films in the mid-60's with Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren respectively. "Promises Promises" with Mansfield and this one with Mamie Van Doren. Both resulted in Playboy spreads [...]. "Three Nuts" is the better of them in my opinion because Mamie is just more interesting to watch. The plot is really bizarre involving getting psychoanalasys for three with only one patient (Noonan, who's very funny) and the whole thing getting out of hand. Mamie plays a stripper named Saxie Symbol who's one of the ones wanting treatment. She looks fabulous [...] The film is low, low budget and alternates in b&w and color. Yet there's a looney, insane quality to it that makes you wonder what Noonan had in mind at all. And a host of character actors running around...Marjorie Bennett, one of the plumbers from "Green Acres", several others. The print from VCI is quite good for a rare piece like this. Only minor scratches and one little jumpy part. There's some partially nude shots of Mamie "behind the scenes" but the best thing is the interview with Van Doren herself. She's delightful. If you're a Van Doren fan this is a must. I hope some her 50's films get DVD release besides "Teacher's Pet". She still has a following. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000E117IO | | Actors | Alvy Moore, Arthur Gould-Porter, Charles Irving, Curt Mercer | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,452 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #10,889 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (54) | | Director | Tommy Noonan | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | VCIV538DVD | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Black & White, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.48 x 5.31 x 0.55 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | April 25, 2006 | | Run time | 1 hour and 15 minutes | | Studio | Kit Parker Films | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Alvy Moore, Arthur Gould-Porter, Charles Irving, Curt Mercer, Tommy Noonan - **Format:** Black & White, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 15 minutes ## Images ![3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8102nUkSMfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One Nutty Movie! *by M***G on March 2, 2013* Tommy Noonan had the distinction of appearing in the following movies: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953), with Marilyn Monroe; "Promises!

The entire movie is hard to endure if seen more than once. There are more theatrical trailors on the disk including Jayne Mansfields nude debut in "Promises Promises". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8183055-3-nuts-in-search-of-a-bolt](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8183055-3-nuts-in-search-of-a-bolt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
