old fashion sex comedy

SnoopyStyle

Bernard Lawrence (Tony Curtis) is a reporter based in Paris. His British stewardess fiancée Vicky Hawkins (Suzanna Leigh) hates his housekeeper Bertha (Thelma Ritter). He's very careful with scheduling. He drops Vicky off at the airport, and surprisingly, picks up his other fiancée, German stewardess, Lise Bruner (Christiane Schmidtmer). In addition, there is his Air France girlfriend Jacqueline Grieux (Dany Saval). The tight precise juggling is threatened by any scheduling changes, the new faster planes, and fellow reporter Robert Reed (Jerry Lewis) with no hotel vacancy who insists on staying at his apartment.

The idea is cute. Starting with listing the girls' measurements in the opening credits, this is an old fashion sex romp. Jerry Lewis is playing straight in this one. It's not that funny especially in terms of modern sex comedies. There are a few fun moments but no big laughs. It's probably not a classic but a good choice for fans of these legends.
