Pianist Rupert Street (Dudley Moore) is a composer wannabe. His 30th birthday is coming and he wants to get married before then. The only problem is that he has no partner yet. He's off to write a successful stage musical and find the perfect woman to marry. He has six weeks.
I really like the bonkers premise and the many surrealist scenes. It's not quite as funny as it could be. Dudley Moore is mugging as much as he could. It's only slightly funny and I lose the thread of it all. I never get a sense about the man and I don't know if I like him. I get his obsession, but I can't take it that seriously. There should be a defining reason for his obsession. Maybe a gypsy witch cursed him or the good old standard inheritance requirement. Suzy Kendall is the super hot blonde, but she's not contributing much more than that. It's an odd-duck of a British comedy. Dudley Moore fans should check this out.
