14 editions published between 1963 and 2013 in English and held by 513 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Jerry Lewis plays a timid, nearsighted University chemistry teacher who stumbles onto a magical potion in his lab. The mixture transforms the scholarly knucklehead into a suave and smooth-talking Romeo. The object of his debonair attentions is a gorgeous student, Stella Stevens. This Jekyll and Hyde game works well enough until the concoction starts to wear off at the most embarrassing times, and the amorous suitor suffers hilarious symptoms of his personality split
