Average viewer score of 2.9/10 from 7 ratings.

3/10

Mess of a comedy, cheap looking and tawdry, this is still a fascinating, bizarre curio with an interesting cast. Toy executive Newmar tries to recruit Cox, using Buono to try at trap him. Cox is an obsessive girl watcher! Comes off as a series of random skits, with a lot of pretty women. Quincy Jones is credited for the music, played by Eyes Of Blue. Some interesting shots of L.A. circa 1970.
