Columbia Pictures

Dudley Moore co-wrote the screenplay, stars with his wife Suzy Kendall and wrote the soundtrack with his band The Dudley Moore Trio, who also perform on-screen. How much Dudley can you take? It's a terribly dated comedy about Dudley's search for a wife and ambition to write a musical before he turns 30. It is overdependent on the "cut away" style of humor, the narrative frequently turning to wild flights of fantasy and overindulgent songs. It really starts to drag towards the end with a poor spoof of noir detectives that goes on forever.
