Most of Malice enmeshed Dr. Randolph Kalbfus (Keenan Wynn) an innocent Manhattan psychoanalyst who goes to Hollywood as technical adviser on psychological movies. The doctor (crying, "I'm sorry, Sigmund!") is quickly seduced by Star Audrey Merridew (Julie Newmar), a wine-piney Georgia cracker who lives (on hush-puppies) with her cussing, Grant Wooden mother on Aorta Road. In time, Dr. Kalbfus divorces his wife, traipses around in a beret, becomes convinced that Sophia Loren wants to marry him. He winds up back in Manhattan, being analyzed himself.

Accompanied by eight pointers, the two men rolled through the piney woods to the hunting area, where the dogs soon flushed two coveys of quail. Ike fired at both-and missed.
