"Jean Anouilh's saucy, sex romp gets top notch handling with Sellers as the retired military officer who still can't keep his eye off the girls." - Leonard Maltin
Based on the play by Jean Anouilh, Sellers stars in this romantic comedy as General Fitzjohn, who, despite his long list of conquests, has never consummated his affair with Ghislaine, his first love. She attempts to rectify this and takes drastic action by pretending to drown herself, only to be rescued by the General's aide, not the General himself, which may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. - from cover
