Tom Meade mistakenly dials the gorgeous European film star Didi at her Oregon hotel.

Meade, with the help of his housekeeper, goes to absurd lengths to help the actress evade discovery by both the public and his suspicious wife.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

If you got 1h39min to loose, watch it! I had high hopes thinking that Hope will make me laugh: I was so wrong. What could have done better the poor man on a so stupid script? Nothing! When I was a little boy, I used to fall in love very easily, with almost any beautiful actress, well, I believed then that a beautiful woman look like this female called Elke Sommer. It happened when I saw her in Deadlier Than the Male, made a year after this one. Now, as mature man, I think she's looking like Miss Piggy with a doe's muzzle. But what matters is the ass, right? And, her ass is the real star of this movie. Not Bob Hope, not Phyllis Diller(which is a bit funny)(all the other actors are dull and not funny at all).

This is, without question, the worst Bob Hope movie ever. What's even worse is that Bob Hope himself is every bit as bad as the material. To sum it up, Bob Hope plays Tom Meade, a struggling realtor trying to sell a run down house in the woods. His luck seems to change when a major Hollywood actress (Elke Sommer) wants the house to hide out in after a fight with her boyfriend (Cesare Danova, who is rightly embarrassed) whose name in the film is Pepe Pepponi. Along for the ride is Phyllis Diller, who plays his maid, and Marjorie Lord, who comes off somewhat better than the rest of the cast as June Cleaver type wife. The film is filled with wooden acting, dull situations, and truly dumb jokes. As for the car chase at the end, Michael Medved said it best when he said it would bore a high school driving class. Some of this is so bad, it's downright amateurish. It was shocking to see such poor delivery from so many established stars. This is only good for those who like bad movies and those who suffer from insomnia.

I saw this film twice: once when I was a pre-teen in the 60s and then about 40 years later. The first time I saw it, I thought it was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. The second time I saw it, I wondered what I saw in it the first time. Since it was the same movie, I guess it had to be me, but what a difference 40 years makes. This movie seems to have been made as a vehicle for Bob Hope's and Phyllis Diller's comic skills. However, what seemed knee-slapping funny back then, seems dull and trite now, especially Hope's one-liners. Most of the movie revolves around Hope's character keeping his association with Didi secret. It was funny then but a little overbearing now. His "murder confession" seems just silly now. I gave the movie a 6 rating because the chase scene with Phyllis Diller still ranks high as a hilarious chase scene, just as funny now as when the film was new.

This movie is a campfest. Elke Sommer plays a temperamental star who ends up on the run from her studio. She inadvertently gets hooked up with married man Bobe Hope who tries to conceal her from the police and his wife Marjorie Lord. Phyllis Diller steals the show as Bobe Hope's maid. Very subtle risqué humor permeates this movie. If you listen very carefully you can hear some very suggestive dialogue between Bobe Hope and Phyllis. While Phyllis is eavesdropping on Bobe & Elke's phone call she is shown peeling a banana. When she hears a vaguely sexual remark she squeezes the bottom and the banana pops out of it's skin and onto the floor! Very subtle but VERY suggestive which is what I loved about the 60's, nothing is as blatant as today. Light fluff of a movie but lots of fun. I guess some previous viewers are so bombarded with in your face grossness these days in most movies they didn't see or appreciate the innocence of this flick.
