  1. It's the year's best movie sex.
  2. 100
    It's a heap of contradictions that will leave your head spinning.
  3. A teasy, cogent and funny noir spoof of dime novels and 1960s Hollywood.
  4. A highly entertaining film that still packs much of the punch and the quirkiness of Willeford's novel.
  5. 70
    The movie is glorious pulp pastiche without the smirks, which is fitting given the author's ironic humanism.
  6. If its jolts were as strong as its chuckles, The Woman Chaser might really have turned into the cheap-thrill classic it pretends to be.
  7. An only intermittently amusing genre parody.
  8. Very much a first film, but a venturesome start for Devor as well as a splendid launch for Warburton.
  9. 50
    Gorgeous but seriously unsatisfying.
  10. 40
    It's a real gone flick, daddy-o.

    There's something about The Woman Chaser that isn't quite thought through, in a basic way.
  12. Strives 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.
  13. It's a film noir spoof, replete with hard-boiled narration, lounge-music soundtrack and dramatic black-and-white photography.
  14. 10
    The queasiness it makes you feel is more like acid reflux than existential nausea.
