This Tony Curtis-Jerry Lewis combination, adapted from a play by Marc Camoletti, is yet another bedroom comedy without anything actually happening in the bedroom. Curtis plays an American in Paris juggling the affections of different sexy stewardesses. Director John Rich is faced with staging slapstick he has no intrinsic feeling or affection for; instead of a spirited good time, he has his cast running around crazily hoping it will translate into laughs. Perky Dany Saval (as "Air France") is the stand-out amongst the lovely ladies, none of whom gets an actual character to play. Curtis and Lewis might have been an interesting duo under better circumstances (and with snappier dialogue), but this material is beneath them. *1/2 from ****
