Plot
Herbert H. Heebert (Jerry Lewis) is a young man who loses his girlfriend, swears off romance, and then takes a job at a genteel, women-only boarding house, run by Helen Wellenmellen (Helen Traubel). Although most of the women treat him like a servant, Fay (Pat Stanley) helps him with his fear of women.
Production notes
The main set is a four story doll house-like interior of a mansion turned boarding house with a central courtyard allowing crane shots spanning floors.[4] At $350,000, it was the most expensive set for a family comedy to date.[5]
Lillian Briggs, the blonde bombshell "Queen of Rock & Roll," made her Hollywood acting debut in this film. Ann McCrea was cast as "Miss Sexy Pot".
Home release
The film was released on DVD on October 14, 2004.
