DICK VAN DYCK is a struggling artist in Paris in the straining to be funny THE ART OF LOVE. Lots of slapstick that just doesn't hit the mark, no matter how furiously cast tries. VAN DYCK'S character Paul fakes his death believing that his paintings will sell like hotcakes ! When friend and rival JAMES GARNER gets sentenced to be guillotined for his murder, Paul must decide whether or not to put an end to his charade. Gorgeous ELKE SOMMER & ANGIE DICKINSON are the love interests. A few laughs are provided by ETHEL MERMAN as brothel owner Madame Coco, otherwise this movie is dull and uninteresting.
