A
Los Angeles playboy, renowned for his fast and loose love life,
runs head-on into a mid-life crisis in this uproarious Blake
Edwards comedy starring Burt Reynolds and Julie Andrews.
David
Fowler (Reynolds) has two passions, sculpting and women, and
he's been quite successful in both departments until now.
David
finds that this insatiable hunger for women begins to render him
socially, artistically and, finally, sexually impotent. His
desperate inner struggle drives him to the couch of and
attractive psychiatrist, Marianna (Andrews), to whom David
reveals everything from his first sexual encounter to his
currently disturbing - and often hilarious - romantic
adventures. But can Marianna help David control his roving eye
before it's too late?

Roy
Garth is a colorful, if crass, rich Texas oilman who refers
to a toilet as "the pisser", eats chicken-fried steaks with
Dom Perignon, bets and wins at the Hippodrome, throws big
cook-outs, loves to watch wrestling on TV, and the first thing he
puts on after taking a shower is his cowboy hat!
Roy introduces
his beautiful wife Louise (Kim Basinger) to Los Angeles
playboy
and
sculptor
David Fowler (Burt Reynolds). Roy begins to suspect
Louise has started an affair with Fowler, but can't prove it.
Later, Fowler reveals to his psychiatrist (Julie Andrews) how
the affair ended.
A very amusing
role for Barry in this Blake Edwards film portraying an
uneducated oilman who struck it rich. We even see Barry singing
"Mr. Froggy Went a-Courtin'"
(probably adlibbed) in the shower while his
wife is helping her lover escape their penthouse. |

ROY : Mr.
Fowler, I'd like to congratulate you on a fine piece of work.
Now, that kind of reminds me of my wife. I don't completely
understand it, but it sure is effective (laughing). Lulu! Come
here, honey!
LOUISE : Excuse me, ladies.
ROY :
I want you to meet Mr. Fowler. Mr. Fowler, my wife, Louise.
LOUISE :
Hello, Mr. Fowler. How are you?
FOWLER : Good.
LOUISE :
Good to see you.
ROY :
It was Lulu's idea to give you this commission.
LOUISE :
Well, I have admired your work ever since I saw your show at
the L.A. County Museum, 1968. See, I know!
ROY :
That was a good one too. Excuse me, Mr. Fowler. I gotta go
around here and shake some hands and kiss a few behinds. Lulu,
give Mr. Fowler a grand tour. Would you, please?
LOUISE :
I would love to.
ROY :
I'll see you later this afternoon.
ROY : Yeah, we've
drillin' for some, uh, for some gas out on a section of the
ranch out there. Geologist's report looked real good. I don't know
what's he gonna do. Well, we'll see.
ROY :
Hey! You wanna see something really pretty?
FOWLER : Oh, yes.
ROY :
Have you been inside the bathroom?
FOWLER : No.
ROY :
Come here. I wanna show you something. I had a French
architect do this bathroom over for me.
FOWLER : Oh, well, that's a beautiful chagall.
ROY :
Isn't that pretty?
FOWLER : Oh, yes. That's pretty.
ROY :
Now, what I wanna show you here, is the pisser.
FOWLER : No, The Pizarro.
ROY : No,
no, no. That's The Pizarro over there. I want to show you
the pisser. This thing's got a geyser in it.
FOWLER : Geyser?
ROY :
Yeah, you know, uh, one -- uh, h-honey, what do you call that
thing, that geyser in the toilet?
LOUISE : The bidet.
ROY :
Yeah, that's right. The "booday". Now, Lulu's got
one in her toilet in there. I thought mine was a drinking
fountain 'till I sat down on it. I'll tell you, it'll -- it'll
get your heart started in the morning!
ROY : Feeling all
right, Mr. Fowler?
FOWLER :
No, no. I'm feeling-- (clears throat).
ROY :
Uh, Mr. Fowler? You're the artist here. You know more about
these things than I do. But I'd rather look at this bathroom
than look out that window anytime.
LOUISE :
Honey, don't you think we'd better get on the ribs?
ROY :
Yeah, I guess we'd better get that barbecue going. Come on,
Mr. Fowler. Are you feeling all right?
FOWLER :
Oh, yeah. I'm feeling fine.
ROY :
Are you sure? Hey, you wanna watch your step there. You know, you
look a little puffed up.
FOWLER :
Puffed up. Oh.
ROY :
Oh. Honey, honey! Wait-wait a minute. Turn around. You got
something in your hair. All right, dear. I got it. Just a
little piece of fuzz.
LOUISE : What are you
doing here?
ROY :
What are you doin' here?
LOUISE :
I'm just here. I'm cleanin'. Uh, in the closet. (Growling)
What's that?
ROY :
Oh, well, uh, I didn't know you's gonna be here. I--I brought
you a little present. Nice little doggy. Thought we'd name her
Simba. She's so tiny, she can break wind, you can't hardly
smell nothing. There you go, Simba. Go on. Go to Mamma, Simba.
LOUISE : Darlin', I
just love this little doggy. Why don't we take her out to the
ranch right now? What do you say?
ROY :
Oh, honey, that's 60 miles. It'd take us half an hour to get
out there. Besides, that 'ol boogey bear would have her for
breakfast. I'll tell you what. I'll call up 'ol Bull Ray and
have him order us up some chicken-fried steaks and a couple of
bottles of Dom Perignon and we'll watch the wrestlin' matches
on TV.
LOUISE :
Baby, w-why don't you take a shower?
ROY :
How come? I took one this mornin'. Do I stink?
LOUISE : Pumpkin...pumpkin?
ROY :
Oh.
LOUISE :
You know what for.
ROY :
Oh! (laughing) All right! I'll go take a shower and I'll put on some of that English
Leather that you like so much, okay?
LOUISE :
Twice as nice!
ROY :
All right!
LOUISE :
Here's Simba. She'll keep you company.
ROY : Come here,
Simba. Come here, honey (kissing sounds).
Oh, honey? I forgot to tell you. We hit gas.
LOUISE :
Oh, we did?
ROY :
You must have a piece of liver in there! (Laughing) Well, I'm gonna take my shower right now. Get squeaky clean.
And I'll be right back out, rarin' to go. (Singing) "Oh,
Mr. Froggy went a-Courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh. Froggy went a-Courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh.
Froggy
went a-Courtin' and he did ride, a sword and a pistol by his
side, uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh..."
ROY : (Singing)
"Piece of old corn bread sittin' on the shelf. If you
want any more you can sing it yourself, uh-huh."
ROY :
Honey
bun?... What you got there?
LOUISE :
Well, that little dog. Just got me so excited that...We gonna
do something different tonight (cracking sound).
