First half is pretty slow, but it gets much funnier once Dudley Moore begins his famous drunk routine.

Another stupid comedy about the mid-life crisis of a man and his obsession with a beautiful woman, until he realizes that the obsession is senseless. Quite similar to other movies la "The Woman in Red".
