7/10
A clever comedy

Warning: Spoilers
A really fun, sadly neglected comedy starring Dean Martin. Martin attempts to help out pal Eli Wallach when he believes Wallach's mistress is cheating on him. Through a case of mistaken identity (and more than one comic blunder by Martin), Martin ends up with resourceful career girl Stella Stevens. It's as frothy as they come and very entertaining. Martin is perfect and has great chemistry with the fetching Stevens. Wallach is priceless as he tries to justify his infidelities. Director Fielder Cook keeps things moving at breakneck speed and the script by Nat Monaster and Stanley Shapiro is full of a lot of great one-liners. A clever comedy with a an unusually strong supporting cast including Anne Jackson, Betty Field, Jack Albertson and George Furth.
