Sinekatalog’s take
A bright 1980s comedy about a drunken millionaire who may lose his fortune if he marries the wrong woman. Gordon keeps the plot light, and the charm comes from the lead's chaotic warmth and the dry butler at his side. Dated in places, but still good company.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
