I'm not normally a Jerry Lewis fan ... but this is one of his very few movies I can watch more than once. Lewis held back on his normal goofy, over-the-top performance to play a more normal type of romantic comedy lead.
In this one, his paramour is Janet Leigh: mature, gorgeous, and worth the watch all by herself. Lewis has given up a career as a commercial artist to take on art for art's sake, and won a contest to spend a month in Paris painting a wall-sized mural ... all expenses paid plus a $10,000 commission. He wants Janet to spend the month in Paris with him. Who wouldn't?! :-)
The problem is she's a psychiatrist with three patients she can't abandon until she'd given them more confidence after bad breakups. So Lewis set out to date the three patients, as three different impostors, and give them confidence. What could go wrong?
Plenty!
