...Eager to learn by doing, Matthau finally entices a voluptuous victim (Elaine Devry) to a motel; as she stands before him, stripped down to her black lace foundation, he decides that he prefers a wifetime of dreaming to a lifetime of scheming. Nervously he shows his date pictures of his family and prays for any interruption that will end the affair that never began. Moments later, deliverance comes when detectives break into a neighboring room and discover a couple in bed. The man: that satirical satyr Robert Morse.
