A mod, mid-'60s farce set in Paris, with O'Toole as a lecherous magazine publisher who can't help pursuing - and being pursued by - every woman he meets. Woody Allen's first film - he wrote the script and acted in it, but did not direct. It's a silly, ragged mess of a movie, but Woody's early style comes through in some of the lines and gags, and it picks up steam in the madcap final reel.
