Deciding that he is finally ready to settle down, fashion editor Michael James realizes that he has a real problem: He is very handsome, and his job as editor for a Parisian fashion magazine gives women the opportunity to throw themselves at him. And Michael really likes it. So he employs the services of a psychiatrist to cure him. Unfortunately, the shrink is even more woman-crazy than Michael, and as mad as a hatter to boot. What will Michael do when a half-naked parachutist drops into his convertible, a stripper does a bump and grind in his lap, and the husband of a nymphomaniac wants to kill him? [More]

The mixed results are entertaining, if flawed. Full Review |

|
A horribly dated affair, Clive Donner's film ends with the entire cast desperately trying to get laughs from a go-kart race. Yes, it really is that bad. Full Review |
|||
|
A classic comedy of its time and captures the period in sight and sound. It doesn't wear as well as a true classic, though, and many of the gags would feel dated 20 years later. Full Review |

|
It goes overboard in pressing for its goal and consequently suffers from over-contrived treatment. Full Review |
|||
|
Jammed with stars in a zany, surprisingly unfunny plot for the most part.
|

|
The all-star international cast goes overboard in keeping things zany but not necessarily funny. Full Review |

Somewhere in the proceedings there were sane and skillful artisans at work. Full Review |

Clive Donner's stylish direction harmonizes well with Woody Allen's inspired screenplay to yield an elegant entertainment, proving once again that Allen is a better scenarist than a director. Full Review |
