Who was that Lady? - 1960 * * * *

You know one of the things I adore about film? The fact that I can come across a hidden gem that no one has ever mentioned to me or heard of before and find out that it's excellent.

This is exactly what happened with this film and me last Saturday morning. It really is very funny.

Tony Curtis winds up in trouble with his wife after she spots him kissing one of his students (he's a chemistry professor and also does admissions!) and so he comes up with a scheme concerning him and his friend ( good old Dean Martin) that makes his naughty mistake acceptable. The trouble is they soon becomes involved in all too real situations as they fumble from one place to the next getting into serious trouble. Janet Leigh plays Tony's wife and although she is totally annoying and whiny she does work very well with him in this. It's no 'The Great Race' but it's a pretty good and funny effort and one of those films you can revist again. Brilliant Saturday viewing.
