...with people...[long pause]...Men I mean") in a monotonous baby-doll voice uncannily reminscent of a T.V. commercial for an underarm deodorant called "Tickle." Both Martin and Peters approach their roles in a curiously stylized way, staring out of glazed eyes either vapidly (Peters) or with an intense manic glow (Martin). Only Jessica Harper, who plays the dull, frowsy Joan, seems to be able to travel comfortably between the make-believe world of the songs and her unhappy "real life" as Arthur's cuckolded wife. Perhaps if she had been in charge here, the movie--and even Arthur...
DUCK YOU HEAD-LOWLA BRIDGIDA! reads the sign on a Grand Canal ponte, just before one of Friz Freleng's manic critters slams into the lintel at full frontal force. The warning applies also to those attending this compilation of old Warner Bros, cartoon shorts. Beware of low gags, supersonic mayhem, polka-dot undershorts and the occasional smack in the puss-Sylvester J. Pussycat, to be precise.

The villain is nabbed just in time to save the life of an undercover agent whose fake identity has been blown...
...series of manic bumbles follows. A naive disguise of clipped hair, a new mustache and a tanning parlor's efforts almost gets Lundgren expelled from a "straight" bar in Key West as a gay tourist. Ever the optimist, Lundgren reflects: "Rare, indeed, is a woman or man so sullied that they can't be rebaptized with a few drinks, a pizza, and a shower." Disdaining the private eye's code of resisting advances by female suspects, Warlock goes on an erotic tear. Mrs. Rabun, an art gallery owner, lures him with cocaine, and her friend Laura Fardel...
