Frankie: Look under the nearest pair of dice.
Peg: Don't you even say hello to your wife?
Cully: Hello, wife!
Frankie: Peg, how can I get Johnny to give up gambling?
Peg: Easy! A bullet in the head, poison in his coffee, a fatal knife wound. Oh, nothing to it.

I give this three stars just because it's a boring movie. I don't think it's bad. It's just really uneventful. I saw this on television once, and I switched over to the Food Network. I kind of remember what it was about, and that's about it. I have sat through probably everyone of his films, and while this isn't as bad as others (Harem Scarem!), it is pretty close. You can really tell that he was have less fun than the viewers. He looks really good (of course), but that's about it. It isn't even a fun bad movie, where you would see him as an Arabian Prince, or a race car driver. Instead of wasting time on this, watch Jailhouse Rock (the best), King Creole and even Blue Hawaii. You'll thank yourself later.
