Terrible, dim romantic comedy despite starring (and being co produced by) Bob Cummings, normally adept at light comedy... and actually his performance is fine, but it's an incredibly dopey story with unimaginative handling.
It's got an agonisingly weak concept - Bob Cummings is an ad man who is meant to be a misogynist (Cummings is never believable as this) and has romance troubles with his girlfriend (Anna Stein) and winds up being treated by a shrink who's written a book, Hedy Lamarr.
Two European accented women feels weird. No one has a character - struggled to get a fix on any of them. Sten and Lamarr can't play comedy. I love that Lamarr invented blue tooth or whatever it was but she wasn't a comic genius. There aren't any good lines or scenes or a strong support cast... there's some half baked satire of psychiatry.
I never cared about any of the characters or the central relationship. I didn't laugh. It doesn't even look good.
