100It's the year's best movie sex.
-
100It's a heap of contradictions that will leave your head spinning.
-
75A teasy, cogent and funny noir spoof of dime novels and 1960s Hollywood.
-
75A highly entertaining film that still packs much of the punch and the quirkiness of Willeford's novel.
-
70The movie is glorious pulp pastiche without the smirks, which is fitting given the author's ironic humanism.
-
63If its jolts were as strong as its chuckles, The Woman Chaser might really have turned into the cheap-thrill classic it pretends to be.
-
63An only intermittently amusing genre parody.
-
60Very much a first film, but a venturesome start for Devor as well as a splendid launch for Warburton.
-
50Gorgeous but seriously unsatisfying.
-
40It's a real gone flick, daddy-o.
-
40There's something about The Woman Chaser that isn't quite thought through, in a basic way.
-
30Strives desperately for a zaniness that is largely absent from the screenplay and from comic performances that are too blank and unfocused to register as parody.
-
25It's a film noir spoof, replete with hard-boiled narration, lounge-music soundtrack and dramatic black-and-white photography.

10The queasiness it makes you feel is more like acid reflux than existential nausea.
