+++1/2
After death, a casanova reflects on his life with women with the man downstairs. Sparkling first half -- as, in flashback, the boy learns that girls like presents, the teenager that French maids can be pleasant, and the man (Don Ameche) that women, even when they're looking for a book called How to Make Your Husband Happy, can still be swept off their feet -- is followed by less energetic second, but overall a very funny film with a clever ending. Gene Tierney plays the woman. Based on a play called Birthday by Leslie Bush-Fekete.
