If my man can’t recognize my legs in a line-up, I don’t want him. Poor Frank, all he wanted was to have a calm life with his lover. And Sylvia? He only looks at women’s legs for work, he loves you!!!
So funny, and the car scene was so hilarious, it made me wish I could be there

was tony allergic to doing movies that didn’t have a mistaken identity plot or what… this did not need to be 114 minutes. nevertheless i enjoyed natalie wood a great deal and tony should threaten women with suicide always.
