Frantic comedy gives the impression it would do anything for a laugh. The actors ham it up, there's a fast past, the music is wacky.
It's a black comedy with Tony Curtis as a man who kills his wives but they're annoying so it doesn't matter.
It doesn't quite come off but I didnt mind it. I like Curtis, even in dodgy comedies, and it has pleasing locations. It's fun to see Zsa Zsa Gabor (diamond drenched ditz) and Finella Fieling (horny aristocrat) and nancy Kwan (his true love I think).
Rosanna Schiaffino isn't quite up to her role and the film outstays its welcome but it does have some good things about it.
