Trivia

A dispute over which actor--Tony Curtis or Jerry Lewis-- would receive top billing was settled in print ads and posters by criss-crossing names on a diagonal so a portion of each stars' name on top line appeared on top line (first name for one, surname for the other--with remainder of name on bottom line in reversed order.) In trailer, both names flash on screen in animated circle rotating so rapidly it's impossible to discern top-billed star. See more »

Goofs

Reed gets in the cab through the left door; then we see him inside sitting on the right side of the taxi and the girl is on the left. See more »

Crazy Credits

The three actresses who play the flight attendants have their physical measurements listed in small print under their names. Instead of measurements, Thelma Ritter has (?-?-?) by her name. See more »

Paris When It Sizzles
14 September 2008 | by (Earth) – See all my reviews

"All you need is a timetable," explains playboy Tony Curtis (as Bernard Lawrence), an American reporter working in Paris. Mr. Curtis keeps three blondes in one apartment, each thinking she is Curtis' "one-and-only" fiancée. The rotating women are all airline stewardesses, on different timetables. Curtis' sexy arrangement is discovered by envious old pal Jerry Lewis (as Robert Reed). Mr. Lewis plots to take over the satisfying arrangement of women, after he learns Curtis may be transferred to New York. But, both men are threatened when the stewardesses' flight patterns change; and, everyone heads for the apartment bed!

Funnier than its reputation; perhaps, the film's celebration of pseudo-promiscuity distanced it from other sixties sex comedies - the "romance" between Lewis and Suzanna Leigh (as Vicky "British United" Hawkins) comes closest to "acceptable" for the genre. The other two women, hefty knockwurst-loving Christiane Schmidtmer (as Lise "Lufthansa" Bruner) and wispy soufflé-loving Dany Saval (as Jacqueline "Air France" Grieux), are more funny than romantic. Curtis is finely frantic; however, Lewis, in a lower key, and Thelma Ritter (as Bertha) are more outstanding.
