Elke Sommer Gives This A Lift!
4 August 2004
This is a decent comedy starring Dick Van Dyke and James Garner (boring as usual), Angie Dickenson, lovely, and the beautiful Elke Sommer who makes it worthwhile. The premise (faking suicide to sell paintings) is pretty ridiculous, but Ms. Sommer's presence lights up the screen. This totally undervalued actress was stuck in too many dumb comedies and is a very intelligent woman who speaks many languages.

A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Elke Sommer. This type of comedy was on it's way out in 1965, but with the fascinating Ms. Dickenson and Elke Sommer it's worth your while. James Garner should re-evaluate the roles he takes. He just never seems believable.
