A frenetic, absurdist 1960s comedy that uses surreal humor and rapid-fire energy to satirize masculine posturing and romantic conquest.

A nebbish schoolteacher begs his smooth (and misogynistic) pal to teach him 'the knack' – how to score with women. Serendipitously, the men meet up with a new girl in town, as well as a friendly lunatic who can’t help but paint things white.
