6/10
Interesting cast, above average romantic farce
8 December 2022
Another Jack Lemmon comedy of the 60's, in which he is having to pretend he is actually married to his wife's (Dorothy Provine) best friend and neighbor, sexy Romy Schneider, so she can cash in on a $15 M inheritance. Predictable, but if you watched TV and movies from this era, a memorable cast. Mike Connors, "Mannix" plays Romy's estranged husband. Louie Nye is a private eye. Also along are Neil Hamilton- Batman's Commisioner Gordon and perpetual elderly grumps Charles Lane and Edward Andrews. And if you can remember the "Fun Girls" from "Andy Griffith Show" well... Joyce Jameson is a sexy hooker. Even EG Robinson has a small part, guess he needed the money.

A few words about the female leads. Romy Schneider sadly died at age 44, heart attack. The previous year her son had been killed in an accident. Dorothy Provine retired from acting a few years later, not sure why she didn't make it bigger. Talented singer and dancer, beautiful and sexy. As another IMDB reviewer wrote "the poor man's Doris Day"
