8/10
Adorable retro comedy

This movie is a hilarious sixties take on what life in a space station might be like in the future. Jerry Lewis, minus his usual goofiness, is very appealing in this movie as the astronaut who must find a female astronaut to marry within three days, and Connie Stevens is the cutest as his astronaut wife who insists that they marry "in name only." Together, they go on a mission to relieve two astronauts that have been at the space station for a year, one a sex-starved nut and the other his beleaguered colleague. Robert Morley as the man in charge, Mr. Quonset, and Brian Keith as Gen. "Howling Bull" Hallenby are superbly funny, and the retro fashions and sets are a kick. Lewis and Stevens are delightful in their roles, and Dennis Weaver as Hoffman and Howard Morris as Schmidlap are comical. I love this movie as a charming and adorable step back in time to the sixties romantic comedies. It's funny every time I see it.
