Eve and the Handyman (1961)

Directed by Russ Meyer
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, Arrow Films)

Another silent comedy from the early days of Russ Meyer. A blond detective in a trench coat follows around a handyman on his daily routines. He has numerous encounters with naked or nearly naked women with large breasts, and apparently she wants to see if he can resist them all. He does, until the very end, when the two of them have sex (implied by a series of visuals: two train cars connecting, oil wells pumping, rocket taking off). The attempts at comedy are just plain pathetic, and there is even less nudity than normal. Remember, the greatest catch in life is a happy ending.
