"If you want to live, you must follow the tranquil existence of an oyster," the eminent cardiologist warns his terrified patient. "No excitement and no women. One kiss and you die!" Mon Dieu! No kissing? That's the kiss of death for ladies' man Toto Duryea. And especially now, when he's found the woman who has won his heart forever. Too bad that heart is one sick ticker. Vaudeville and stage star Frank Fay portrays Toto in this jaunty pre-Code bedroom farce set in Paris and directed by the legendary Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, Life With Father). Vivacious kewpie doll Joan Blondell and flapper femme fatale Louise Brooks are among former lovers who rush to Toto's bedside eager to provide comfort. But he rejects them all for a hard-to-get American beauty (Laura LaPlante) whose lips have touched his only once. And oh how he longs to repeat the experience. Will Toto give his life for one more heavenly smooch?
