There’s an impressive line-up of players in this harmless bit of fun.
Dean Martin – in one of his first “solo” comedies – is actor Jason Steele, who plays a caring, godlike doctor in a television series and who is pursued by women in real-life, especially the wives of his poker-playing cronies.
When Melissa (Elizabeth Montgomery from TV’s Bewitched) starts propelling him towards the altar, he goes to a poker-playing friend who also happens to be a psychiatrist for guidance.
As the psychiatrist’s nurse, Carol Burnett delivers another fine comedy performance. Jill St John and Martin Balsam co-star.
Dean Martin, however, is Dean Martin.
