Storyline

Upon losing his lover, Herbert (Jerry Lewis) gives up women for good and seeks a fresh start by taking a maintenance position at what appears to be an ordinary Los Angeles boarding house. To Herbert's surprise, however, the building caters specifically to single women. He immediately resolves to quit, but landlady Miss Wellenmellon (Helen Traubel) and sweet tenant Fay (Pat Stanley) talk him into keeping the job. In no time at all, Herbert is mired in one comic disaster after another.

Short Review

This is Lewis' finest masterpiece in color. There's a little comedy going on, but, like most of Lewis' comedies--I have no idea what the plot is? It's certainly a feast for the eyes.No matter what you wanna say about Lewis not thinking women were funny, Kathleen Freeman was his go to straight woman to bounce his manic character off of for many films, and they appear together in this one.
