Synopsis

Allan Felix has this thing about Humphrey Bogart.

If only he had some of Bogart’s technique… Bookish and insecure with women, Allan’s hero, Bogey, comes to the rescue with a fantastic bevy of beauties played out in hilarious fantasy sequences.

Fixed up by friends with gorgeous women, he’s so awkward that even Bogey’s patience is tried.

Allan mostly resembles a disheveled, friendly dog, and this is what ultimately charms his best friend’s wife, Linda, into bed.

It’s a tough life, making it in the world of beautiful people, but if you can’t be a hero, it helps to have one…

Press Reviews

"Hilarious [...] a cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes and their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character."

— The New York Times

"A funny, likeable comedy that has a surprising amount of wistful appeal."

— New York Post
