Rather bland but for the lovely women, 4 March 2003
Author: vjetorix from Seattle

More a murder mystery than a spy flick, Ladies' Man qualifies under a vague espionage angle; four beautiful women (naturally) who happen to be married to powerful men in politics and industry are blackmailed into revealing government secrets.

Eddie Constantine reprises his role as the hard-drinking FBI agent Lemmy Caution with his usual winning sarcasm whose fame is such that when we first see him, he is being mobbed by female admirers. Such is the life.

There are plenty of humorous moments, nice cars, and beautiful women to keep the viewer amused but this film, like many in the series, tends to slide by without making much of an impact. Paul Misraki's score is as undistinguished as the rest of the film.

It's a pleasant diversion and the popularity of Constantine at the time is easily understood as he chides the back guys, woos the women, and relies on brains and brawn to get the job done.

Amusing if disposable Lemmy Caution film, 14 January 2009

Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Lemmy Caution is on vacation in Europe. The superstar detective is mobbed everywhere he goes and he can't seem to get anything (drinking) done. Despite his best efforts to relax, Caution finds himself stumbling in and out of trouble. Good if disposable film plays as a nice send up of the dangers of fame and a send up of the great detective genre. Jokier than is probably healthy this is an amusing distraction and nothing more thanks to too much of a knowing attitude. Worth a look if you want to see something completely non-taxing. (I should point out that much of the cast is also in You Turn Darling, making a back to back viewing seem as though its one interconnected movie)
