Actually, the title is misleading, because Hudson doesn't really chase women at all. Some women come on to him, but he's only interested in making his movie. Hudson pitches it to us in a menacing scene, talking to his producer, but really talking to us and the camera. Hudson eventually gets his movie made, taking us through the whole process, from writing to recording the music. And from what we can see, it's a stunner.
People go crazy for it.
But it's only 63 minutes long, and that leads to other kinds of problems relating to the business end of movies. If I'm making The Woman Chaser sound like a straightforward story, it's not. Pretty much nothing I could write would prepare you for the oddball tone of this picture. It's funny, exciting, dreary, and very very strange. He's like an old-time movie star transplanted to the modern day, a little bit Bogart, a little bit Wayne.
