How long can you allow Tony Curtis, to play a swinging bachelor in Paris attempting to juggle his charade of having 3 airline stewardesses as his fiances at one time? You know from the very beginning that the fireworks will have to start once a takeoff will have to be canceled and the stewardesses will all converge on the apartment they share with Curtis.
Jerry Lewis plays it straight to Curtis. Jerry needs those funny lines which he is so capable of delivering. Unfortunately, the writing for him is totally inadequate here.
Of course, as always, Thelma Ritter, steals the show as Curtis's maid who has to juggle all these women in her schedule without revealing what is going on. Ritter looked very bad in this film and it's no surprise that she died 4 years later.
score 5/10
