Busty nudes front lousy comedy
Viewed today for nostalgia purposes, this early nudie/cutie feature in the wake of Russ Meyer's "Immoral Mr. Teas" is boring, many a burlesque pantomime skit plus some slapstick in service of showing many well-built topless models on view. A redhead holding Aoladdin's lamp is interjected between scenes randomly, displaying amzing tits.
Hank Henry as lead seems like a cross between Joe E. Ross and future star Rodney Dangerfield, but has only a few snatches of dialogue. His portrayal of historical figures as well as "Ferdinand the Fat" opposite Lucrezia Borgia is poor, rarely generating even a chuckle. It's just the fantasy daydreams of a Mr. X average guy whiling away time in a bar, away from his henpecking wife.
Obviously, moviegoers of 1960 had a chance to see tasteful nude shots and alluring girls going topless, not available in Hollywood mainstream releases of the time.
