This one of the those perfect little movies that they used to dash off in the ebullient 60's. Jack Lemmon gets drunk at a bachelor party and marries the girl who pops out of the cake - Virna Lisi. (What man wouldn't?) The fact that she doesn't speak English adds chaos to Lemmon's life. When he writes a comic strip where his hero-character murders his wife, everyone wonders if art is imitating life, and he is charged with murder. Suffice it to say that this movie has no dead spots, no filler, no sappy sentimentality. It's engaging, satisfying entertainment filled with that optimistic enthusiasm that film makers had in the 60's, exhibited in films like "The Odd Couple." Virna Lisi lights up the screen with uninhibited smoldering sensuality that surpasses Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor.Read full review
