      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After his true love breaks his heart, Herbert H. Heebert (Lewis) swears off women forever. But he finds it harder to do than he thought when he takes a job as a handyman at a Hollywood hotel for women. Being the only male blood around suddenly makes him "The Ladies Man" and in hot demand to every female in the place. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits nice color saturation with well-balanced fleshtones, vibrant hues, and deep blacks. Sharpness is adequate, although some smearing is evident. The source element is revealing of some film grain and flecks of dirt, none of which are terribly obtrusive, but contribute to the dated look of the picture. There is some pixel breakup, as well as occasional minor edge halos. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Even though the Dolby
