Movie Info

George Lester (Jerry Lewis) is a daydreamer who tries the patience of his wife Pamela (Jacqueline Pearce) in this uneven comedy venture. Terry-Thomas plays an ambitious promoter who oils the mind of the ever-dreaming George, always searching for a way to capitalize on his latest scheme. Pamela puts up with her husband to the point of exasperation, before she realizes his unique personality is the reason she fell in love with him in the first place. Bernard Cribbins and Patricia Routledge also add their comedic touches to this British film.
