50’s -60s film – Man kidnaps himself renters his life as a gangster and sleeps with prostitute

Hey everyone,

This is a movie that was probably made in the 50s or 60s. The plot has a lot of stand out moments, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Plot points

Man is married to the bosses daughter, he’s not very assertive and his wife spends ours each day practicing ballet, shes still a little girl mentally.

The man begins to sleep with a prostitute and each time he does they switch to a clock on the wall with the hands spinning around more and more each time

The man kidnaps himself and re-enters his life with a new persona, he now acts like a gruff gangster and walks with a limp/cane

His wife likes the gangster persona better and hopes he will keep himself kidnapped (his old persona)

The film is a drama / comedy

Thanks for your help!
