      Audience Member Remarkable man's death is mourned by dozens of past lovers. It seems he possessed an extraordinary capacity to love women although most of his time is spent on psychotherapist's couch recounting these past relationships. Not sure what the overall point is; like most of Blake Edwards' films, time has not been overly kind. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This Blake Edwards film can't be described as Burt's most demanding role as a man who details his obsession with women to his female psychiatrist. Limp story makes you wish Burt stuck with the action films as Reynolds' character is mostly pathetic. Not quite sure if this would fall into the comedy or drama genre, never a good sign. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Weak remake, unimaginatively filmed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member skip his weak remake and catch Truffaut's 1977 comedy of the same name. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Directed by Blake Edwards, who had come off both critical plaudits for Victor/Victoria (1982), but also critical backlash and lawsuits for Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) and Curse of the Pink Panther (1983), picked himself back up with a new deal at Columbia Pictures and this remake of François Truffaut's 1977 French film of the same name. Some parts work, but most of it doesn't. David Fowler (Burt Reynolds) is a sculptor who has been having affairs with more than one woman, but this has left David artistically and sexually impotent. He tells all this to his attractive yet frigid psychiatrist Marianna (Julie Andrews), who is our narrator. He's had an affair with Texan heiress Louise (Kim Basinger), and they have sex in public places. There's also Agnes (Marilu Henner), whose legs David fell in love with first. But David soon finds himself falling in love with Marianna, who is resistant to his charms, but she soon falls for him. It should have been perfect comic material for Blake Edwards, who had tackled this sort of thing in 10 (1979), but it feels a bit forced and stale, and it's incredible dated, as this film was made before AIDS became news. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This started out halfway decent but devolved into a bit of a silly mess.

      Yardena Arar Associated Press The warmth that might have made this film work never materializes and slickness is no substitute. Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Here is a sad movie with a funny movie inside trying to get out. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com an interesting footnote for several big Hollywood talents, an over-ambitious folly that reveals the flaws in both men’s psyches; Edwards co-write this with his psychiatrist, while Reynolds seems to have acted in his own persona rather than his characters Rated: 2/5 Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall gripping in all the wrong ways Rated: 2/5 Apr 20, 2008 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 4, 2006 Full Review Michael Szymanski Zap2it.com Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
