Fun but thin comedy romance.
The characters of egotistical womaniser Robert (Peter Sellers) and plucky but sensitive Marion (Goldie Hawn) are well done and funny. Their early scenes are great. Unfortunately after they go to France the film falls apart, descending into snippets of silly slapstick and travelogue footage. There's a final scene to tie up the loose ends of the story. This resolution is played with gravitas but it seems contrived and the character motivations in it make little sense.
You never really feel like the romance between Marion and Robert is genuine love. But the idea Marion actually loves Jimmy (Nicky Henson) doesn't really come across either.
Supporting actors Nicky Henson, Tony Britton, John Comer, Diana Dors, Nicola Pagett, Francoise Pascal are good in their brief scenes.
