Synopsis

Very much a product of its time with its swingin' sixties, playboy aura. Hollywood writer Charlie Sorel is murdered by film producer Leopold Sartori (Walter Matthau) when he catches Charlie with his wife. But the playboy is reincarnated as a woman (Debbie Reynolds)--much to the confusion of the male Charlie's best friend, George (Tony Curtis). And the female Charlie decides to see how the other half lives, loves, and gets revenge. Based on the play by George Axelrod.

Critics' reviews

"Under Vincente Minnelli's direction, the film has a certain style and pace. But it is much more vulgar than stylish, much more sluggish and dull than fast."

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
"Minnelli, whose work brings together an extraordinary set of themes, looks at the violence and the lust of Hollywood, the riotous pleasure-seeking of its players big and small."

Richard Brody: The New Yorker
"Even by delving into fantasy for its wildly implausible premise this picturization of George Axelrod's not-so-successful 1960 Broadway play doesn't come off as anything but the mildest type of entertainment."

Variety Staff: Variety
"Funny but far-fetched entertainment from director Minnelli, who doesn't need to rely on strange plot devices to make a good movie."
