Funny 1963 film re-teaming the great Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine once again.
As he was in "Hot," Lemmon is another good-natured jerk, who falls for hooker MacLaine and accepts another identity so as to keep her going financially and off the street.
While Lou Jacobi is appealing in the role of the bar-keeper, his main presence is a major reason for the downfall of this film. When Lemmon is blamed for killing off the character he has been portraying, Jacobi knew all this and could have gotten Lemmon off. Instead, he continues the charade which lands Lemmon in jail unnecessarily. Some may call this comedy, I call it stupidity.
Lemmon is wonderful as always as the cop and as the street-walker, Mac Laine delivers another Oscar nominated performance.
