A scheming woman only marries for money and her latest catch is a revered brain surgeon. He is driven to distraction as she endlessly pleads a headache whenever he gets amorous - though this doesn't seem to stop her with other men. On a trip to Vienna, city of the elevator serial killer, the doctor visits a laboratory and strikes up an odd friendship with something - or someone - he finds there. The result is that as he grows increasingly suspicious of his stunning wife, he develops a meaningful - but of necessity platonic - relationship with a bottled brain.

Movie Quote(s):
- Little Girl: Sounds like a subdural hematoma to me. Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: Oh, it does, does it? Well, it's not your job to diagnose. Little Girl: But I thought... Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: You thought, you thought. Just go. Three years of nursery school and you think you know it all. Well, you're still wet behind the ears. It's not a subdural hematoma. It's *epidural*. Ha.
-
Dolores: The Complete Poems of John Lillison, England's greatest one-armed poet. Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: He wrote 'In Dillman's Grove' and 'Pointy Birds.' O pointy birds, o pointy pointy, anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
-
Dolores: What are those assholes doing on the porch? Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: Those aren't assholes. It's pronounced *azaleas*.

Movie Trivia:
- When Steve Martin gets the bottle of window cleaner from the trunk of the car, the brand name is listed on the bottle, too small and too briefly to be seen without pausing the film. If you pause it, you can see that the label says "Pane in the Glass" window cleaner.
-
Steve Martin drops a small note into the trunk of the car and excitedly says that he's gotten Merv Griffin's autograph. The note says, "Best Wishes, Merv Griffin", and it is indeed Griffin's actual autograph.
