Really strange little comedy. It involves Tim Wollows (John Hubbard) and Sally Willows (Carole Landis). They're unhappily married and always complaining. Then a magic Buddha (dont ask) switches their sexes so Tim acts and talks like Sally and vice versa!
The premise is certainly different and it has a couple of good ideas--but this movie manages to do everything wrong! Every single chance for comedy is either ineptly directed (I'm surprised to see that Hal Roach did this) or badly (or too broadly) played. It's not good at all but you can't stop watching. It's one of those rarities that's so incredibly bad you enjoy it! The sex change doesn't even happen till the film is half over and seeing and hearing Hubbard and Landis trying to play the other sex is truly jaw-dropping. I give them credit--they both try hard but they overdo it (Hubbard especially). The only funny parts here are from pro Marjorie Main who is hysterical as a cook.
This was independently produced and shot on some truly elaborate sets. Also everyone tries hard. So, it isn't good but fascinating in a car wreck sort of way--it's horrible but you can't stop looking.
