Not very enjoyable. At least it's 70 minutes and not entirely unbearable.
Apparently Michael Curtis had already perfected the Classical Hollywood style because the film starts off with the prototypical setup. Then we get a story about a womanizer actually trying to settle down with a woman but nothing about this guy is interesting and the comedy isn't funny enough to warrant me sitting through nonsense and absurdity. Him getting a made up disease so they can go into more comedic gags doesn't work well when the comedy isn't very good. And it's all just to trick this moron into committing to the daughter.
Mostly notable because of the director. I watched a couple of his earlier films from when he was in Vienna but found it too difficult to track down anything in the 9 years between those films and this one. Not even the one where he literally tried to drown his cast of extras.
Curtis definitely improved his manufactured vibes for the films but the substance is completely barren. A big nothing of a movie.
