Review

  • Tony Curtis was actually married to Janet Leigh when they made this. and it starts with Professor Wilson (Curtis) smooching a student when his wife (Leigh) walks in. some really good jazz riffs on the piano, right at the beginning, until his wife walks in. Then, the wife is off to Reno for a divorce! his buddy Mike (Dean Martin) gives him bad advice, and now he's in more trouble than ever. Can they convince Ann that it was all part of his FBI mission? the usual misunderstandings, fights. but can she forgive him? this one is silly but fun. there's clearly a magic between the actors here. and how far will they all go with the gag before the REAL fbi guy shows up, and it all blows up? Larry Storch is a russian spy, a couple years before F Troop! and even a special cameo by Jack Benny. directed by George Sidney. made some great, huge films over the years. This one is silly, zany, suggestive, and fun. it was 1960, so they could be as naughty as they wanted by this point.
