...after the unsettling revelation of Debbie's manhood, there are few surprises and even fewer laughs in this sex scramble based on George Axelrod's Broadway flop. Charlie is a rakish Hollywood screenwriter who has a way with other men's wives. Shot by a jealous husband (Walter Matthau), the roue returns to life in flesh-toned Reynolds wrap, presumably to see how the other half lives.
