| User ReviewClayton L29%, are you kidding? This delightfully quirky movie is so witty and charming. From the double entendre to the fantastical love scenes, and unexpected blocking, it's every minute a delight. The husband's complete lack of understanding of anything even remotely sexual ("all over her what?" "her upper chest."); the outlandish self-help mastery of Mr. Tuttle; each character is lovable, even the detectives, and we care about them. This comedy has been vastly overlooked. One of my favorites (and presently streaming on Amazon Prime). |
| User ReviewLonney CI saw this when it first came out. It is arguably one of the most over-looked films of all times, and one of the funniest. |
| User Reviewjay nStrange but quite interesting comedy drama done in a surreal way. The story of the married lady with a lover living in her and her husbands attic has actually real events in mind. Parts of the film is classic out-of-one-door-in-through-another, but the must exiting part of the play is the absurd parts that when it' at it's best reminds of Luis Buñuel or something of that sort. It's also fun to see Richard Attenborough in weird beard and John Cleese and Patrica Routhledge in small parts in their kind of, youth. |
