Kiss Me, Stupid

In the dusty town of Climax, NV, Las Vegas crooner and notorious playboy Dino (Dean Martin), an alcoholic who craves women incessantly, crosses paths with Orville (Ray Walston), a small-town piano teacher and aspiring songwriter consumed by jealousy over his wife Zelda's fidelity. When Dino arrives, Orville sees a chance to pitch his songs with partner Barney, but dreads Zelda's childhood crush on the singer. To prevent their meeting, Orville manipulates Zelda out of their home, while Barney hires local prostitute Polly the Pistol (Kim Novak) to impersonate her. Zelda, seeking solace in drink, lands in Polly's world, leading to a tangled web of deception where infidelity unexpectedly rewards all involved.
