    Woody Allen's first screenplay. Completely silly and worth seeing.
  • August 17, 2009
    Pretty funny and interesting to see all those brilliant actors in an old colorful comedy.
  • June 27, 2009
    This is definitely a wacky screwball 1960's comedy. It has a top notch cast. Not all the jokes work but I give this one a recommendation if you like old wacky comedies.

    "Lascivious adulterer!"
    "Don't you dare call me that again until I have looked it up!"

    One of my favorite screwball comedies. Peter O'Toole is dreamy.

    full of crazy 60's stuff and extremely weird, similar to the 1967 Casino Royale but not as enjoyable,
  • December 22, 2008
    I love Peter Sellers here is so hilarious!

    A MOVIE WORTH SEEING

    This movie has the funniest dialog i've ever heard. It makes way for the Seinfelds' and the Junos'. The movie seems like a tribute to Cary Grant screwball comedies and does so for the most part. It does however fall apart in a lot of places, the ending in particular. Sellers is p...( read more)henominal, one of the obliviously witty characaters i've ever watched.
