A nine-tenths hilarious comedy, with a few sinister undertones, with Sean Connery in tremendous form as an amorous out-of-work poet called Samson Shillitoe, who falls foul of one of his mistresses' husbands. Good performances from Joanne Woodward, screamingly funny as the poet's long-suffering and amusingly belligerent wife, and Sue Ane Langdon, as the chattiest of his `victims', highlight this pleasing entertainment. Patrick O'Neal's satirical portrait of a psychiatrist is frighteningly droll until he catches Connery in the steam-bath with his wife (O'Neal's, that is) and consigns him to a gruesome brain operation - performed by a dotty scientist, played in best Peter Sellers style by Clive Revill.
