Burt Reynolds gives a very good performance in "The Man Who Loved Women". Unfortunately, Writer/director Blake Edwards drops the ball. He has a very heavy hand in this movie. Blake's big "funny" scene has a few laughs but it also seems forced. An annoying Julie Andrews also drags down this movie. None of her scenes work. Her scenes with her therapist are painful. It took all my strength to not hit the fast-forward button during those parts. The scenes with the forever dreamy Kim Basinger also don't work that well. It's one joke dragged out for about twenty minutes. "The Man Who Loved Women" has a pretty good first half but a rough last forty five minutes. Dishonorable mention: Basinger's hair.
