A reluctant astronaut is assigned to live on the moon for a year, but must first marry a qualified female scientist to take with him.
An unfunny misfire from comedian Jerry Lewis, it's rather surprising he went through with this film, playing a fairly straight-laced character as opposed to his more wacky creations. Although a fine veteran cast is on hand, including Connie Stevens as an attractive feminine foil for Lewis, the material is beneath them, and the sci-fi setting is hardly taken advantage of for comic effect. The film does offer a fairly solid framework for what could have been a memorable farce, but fails to follow through on the possibilities.
