Comment/Synopsis

A woman (Diana Lynn) with eys on her rich boss shares a flat with a slightly dippy friend (Marie Wilson) whose boyfriend (John Lund) keeps coming up with get rich schemes that fail. Things change when he discovers Dean Martin singing whilst working in a juice bar. Complications arise as Dean Martin and Diana Lynn fall for each other. The film is based on a radio show staring Marie Wilson and Diana Lynn. It was the first film featuring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis whilst they are slightly ungainly added to the plot, they are entertaining in their first forray into films.
