Description by OLDIES.com:

Genius, poet and carpet cleaner Samson Shillitoe (Sean Connery) has writer's block - and he can't bluster, clobber or curse it away. But just watch him take Manhattan by storm trying in this whirlwind comedy! It's a certifiable case of A Fine Madness, as nonconformist Samson and his beleaguered wife (Joanne Woodward) plunge into a series of daffy disasters from which he still comes up smiling. That is, until he dallies with the lovely wife (Jean Seberg) of a scheming psychiatrist (Patrick O'Neal), who seeks revenge by prescribing "brain surgery." Shillitoe will need the might of Samson to face down his foes, but with Connery's full-tilt charisma and Irvin Kershner's buoyant direction, it's flinty, funny entertainment.

Product Description:

Sixties vintage madman-against-a-mad-society comedy with Connery appealing as a rowdy, rebellious poet with a chip on his shoulder and an eye for the ladies. His creative block, hyperactive libido and belligerent binges threaten to bring about his undoing when a cadre of know-it-all psychiatrists prescribes a lobotomy. Based on the novel by Elliot Baker.
