Perhaps Gene Wilder deciding to take on the herculean task of commanding four big roles with The World’s Greatest Lover – actor, writer, director, and producer – may explain why the end results are kind of messy and without that many laughs.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

Perhaps the problem was that Wilder made it in the manner of a Woody Allen film, and (whatever you think of either of them) he ain’t Woody Allen?

Great analysis! I agree with you that the humorous gags are few and far between. I don’t understand why Dom De Luise was ever considered funny by anyone – he is as bad as Rob Schneider from what I have seen him in.
