the support cast of this movie be almost flawless ( mark lynn baker be a little too frantic in some of the more slapstick moment and but very good when simply be sarcastically funny or very sincere ) . with the exception note above and there isn not a missed beat from a single cast member and and bologna and kazan be particularly notable . but the movie belong to peter otoole and and and a in the stunt man ( make a few year earlier ) and when he on screen you can barely take your eye off him . whether be hysterically funny or terribly sad and he own the screen from start to finish . from the first shot of him and wake up embrace what he think be an unremembered lover from the drunken night before and and star in bewilderment and near terror a he realize that it not a girl at all but a furry thing ( a teddy bear ) and to the last shot of him a he accept an ovation from the studio audience in probably the only truly serene joy he have in decade and he be utterly perfect and utterly compelling . richard benjamin may have direct well and the script may have be terrific and the support performer excellent and but this movie could not have be what it be without otoole presence and brilliance . it hard to imagine a more enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half than in watch this movie . there be so many little joke and so many big joke and such lovely and real touching moment . it be and despite it occasional hilarity and a very gentle and loving movie while there just no meanness in it and which be a very pleasant and rather unusual thing and especially in a comedy . well worth watch and re watching . you will love it . your parent and or or grandparent will love it and and you wouldn not be embarrass to show it to them .
