I've never tried it that way before. No, no, I'm not worried, it's just that I've never tried it in that position before. It's all new to me. I know you have to wet it before you put it in. Well, you have to or it could break off. How far? I don't know how far? All the way, I suppose. I know you have to keep wiggling it to get all the hairs off though.

Wilder's best loved comedy. It's nice to see him behind the camera also in this witty picture about a man enthralled by this model of beauty, played sumptuously by LeBrock, only to find that there's more to loving someone than just a great body. Wilder performs some of his finest screwball comedy and is given great support from Grodin, Ivey, Bologna and Gilda Radner. Stevie Wonder's song is also catchy and adds plenty of flavor to a fun romantic-comedy.
