How to Murder Your Wife |
Average rating:  |
| Best courtroom scene, ever | | I've yet to see anyone who did not almost end up on the floor during the courtoom scene near the end of this film. Meyehoff gives a classic performance as a man who is cross-examined into (maybe) pushing a little imaginary button that would--at least in his imagination--bump off his wife. That scene is worth the whole movie. And it's not a bad film at all. Jack Lemmon is his usual early '60's frenetic self. |
| How to Murder Your Wife - |  | Absolutly Hilarious! | | In this film, Jack Lemmon plays Mr. Ford, who is VERY happy to be a bachelor. However, at a party for one of his soon to be married friends, Jack meets, falls in love with, and marries a girl who pops out of a cake while he is intoxicated. In the morning, Mr. Ford discovers that he is married and the two encounter a bevy of problems. I reccomend this film to anyone. |
| - How to Murder Your Wife | | Not what you'd expect | | This is one of those films that start out seeming to be about one thing, but turn out at the end to be about something else entirely. Jack Lemmon is a confirmed (?) bachelor, living in a town house with his valet, Terry-Thomas, when one morning, after a liquor-soaked bachelor party for a friend the night before, he wakes to find himself married (gulp) to the dazzlingly beautiful Virna Lisi. Trapped in a no-win situation, he cooks up a plot for her murder (only on paper, of course); but, when she disappears, he finds himself on trial for her actual murder. One of the great comedic courtroom scenes follows. When the [spoiler] at the end of the film, you realized that you've been duped -- the film, which seemed to be about the joys of woman-hating, turns out to be about one of the great themes of cinema - "love conquers all". Eddie Mayehoff and Claire Trevor are marvelous in supporing roles. |
