Some nice moments in this comedy about a screenplay writer and his secretary acting out the weird and wonderful ideas they dream up for a film script, with diversions into Dracula, spy stories and jungle epics on the way. Guest stars Tony Curtis, Noel Coward, Mel Ferrer and (for two seconds) Marlene Dietrich. Although the film, scripted by George Axelrod, who wrote The Seven Year Itch, tends to be an hour of unadulterated fun and 50 minutes of rather tiresome talk, it's well worth a look for its high quota of madcap moments. One is an early chase sequence, when William Holden, as a fictitious secret agent, is pursued by dozens of trench-coated spies; and another is a second, even more hilarious pursuit through Paris, with Tony Curtis and Gregoire Aslan, guest-starring as two comic policemen, chasing the fictitious Holden, who is this time attired as the Lone Ranger. Audrey Hepburn is a delight, too: what a shame the script had to lace its champagne with flat beer.
