The Woman Chaser

It's a heap of contradictions that will leave your head spinning.

A highly entertaining film that still packs much of the punch and the quirkiness of Willeford's novel.

The movie is glorious pulp pastiche without the smirks, which is fitting given the author's ironic humanism.

Very much a first film, but a venturesome start for Devor as well as a splendid launch for Warburton.

There's something about The Woman Chaser that isn't quite thought through, in a basic way.

Strives desperately for a zaniness that is largely absent from the screenplay and from comic performances that are too blank and unfocused to register as parody.

The queasiness it makes you feel is more like acid reflux than existential nausea.
