This movie just misses being something special... what could it be? Peter Sellers is my favorite actor but the accents he uses in this movie don't work. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to viewing pleasure is Tom Bosley's role as an absentee father - his acting is stiff and pretentious. When he says his lines, it's like he's reading them right off the script. Make-up! Mr. Bosley's smoking jacket! Take ten! The teen-age girls are adorable, Gilbert's mother and mother's friend are right on the mark, as well. But Paula Prentiss! I kept wondering why Henry Orient would keep pursuing her - with her neurotic mannerisms and skinny old self. Altogether this flick is mediocre at best.
