A very bland, but extremely forced, sex farce has Lewis seemingly normal as psychiatrist Janet Leigh's fiancee who wants to get her to Paris on vacation, but she won't go because of her loyalty to her very troubled female patients (Leslie Parrish, Mary Ann Mobley and Gila Golan). It's mentioned by one of these females that their boyfriend dumped them for another man.
Lewis has decided that he's going to speed up their recovery by posing as different characters to end their romantic issues for good, and that even puts him drag, looking like a combination of Edna Turnblad from "Hairspray" and Phyllis Diller without her make-up. None of these impersonations are funny, made all the more eye rolling because he was directing himself.
The funniest moment happens at the beginning of the film with veteran comic actress Rene Riano (from the "Jiggs and Maggie" movies) as an old lady who is one of Leigh's patients and all of a sudden goes wacky and does a series of backflips out of her office while screeching like Lena Hyena from "Roger Rabbit". James Best as Lewis's best friend seems to be trying to emulate Dean, but comes off more like Jerry, not necessarily a good thing. Only Kathleen Freeman as the bland Leigh's secretary comes off unscathed, but that's usually the case of all the JL movies he appeared in. This won't go on my list of 50 worst films ever, but it certainly ranks pretty low on my rating scale.
