I must first give thanks to former President Bill Clinton. If not for his many cheating escapades, most importantly with Monica Lewinsky, which led to his idiotic, finger wagging denials, this gem may never have resurfaced. There'll be those few, very insecure women and a few beaten down into submission politically correct men that will bomb this movie. Foe everyone else, sit back and laugh. Talk about a babe fest, this is it. Elaine Devry, Inger Stevens, Sue Ann Langdon, Linda Harrison, Jayne Mansfield plus more. Talk about a comedy cameo fest. Jack Benny, Phil Silvers, Sid Ceasar, Lucille Ball, Joey Bishop and many more. Anyone who has seen this will tell you about the classic "deny, deny, deny" scene with Joey Bishop but there are plenty more funny scenes to go along with that. Terry Thomas has one of the funniest lines of all time in his scene with the ridiculous, incredible, you can't believe it, most phenomenal body of the beautiful Jayne Mansfield. I think the 1st joke is that an unattractive, fish faced Walter Matthau is married to a babe like Inger Stevens, 2nd is that he ignores her when she strips in front of him to get into her nightie, 3rd is that he would even contemplate cheating on her. It must be this way, if he were married to a "dog", we would understand his wanting to cheat, especially with Elaine Devry. Oh my, what a beautiful, alluring, seductive woman. I can't understand why she didn't make it bigger. Robert Morse (from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" also very funny) and Walter Matthau play off of each other superbly. Morse is lending Matthau advice on how to cheat without getting caught. Whatever you do, don't take this movie so seriously, have fun and enjoy and remember the moral of the story "there is no place like home".

The late Walter Matthau is completely wasted in this unfunny film. Matthau made a name for himself in tour-de-force performances in for example "The Front Page" with Jack Lemmon and "The Fortune Cookie" to name only two. These were however directed by a master, the great Billy Wilder.This film goes to show Gene Kelly's inexperience as a director. He's a dancer for goodness sake , what was he thinking making this garbage. The script is also overly complicated and unfunny in the extreme.Matthau is completely miscast in this movie. The subtlety which he normally offers is not on show at all in this film and what results is a complete disaster for Matthau, turning in the worst performance of his career.Robert Morse over acts to the point of being so bad that his acting must rate as the worst on screen comedy performance of all time. This type of over acting would probably work better on stage than in a film. I don't think the director (Gene Kelly) told him this at the time. Morse sickeningly over acts and Matthau under acts! The only saving grace is the sexy Inger Stevens, although this is not supposed to be a porn picture, she is clearly naked underneath her see-thru nightdress in one scene, trying to entice Matthau. A fact which he completely ignores, preferring instead to lie in bed and read his book. Of course this is the only mildly amusing part of the movie, Matthau ignores his hot wife to run around with other less hot women. This is the ONLY joke in the whole movie that works! Although one joke and one good looking hot woman does not a movie make. It takes a good script, good acting and good directing as well, which this film is totally lacking.Inger Stevens was of course in real life a manic depressive who sadly took her own life. Which is the greatest tragedy in movie history, losing such a hot babe to suicide. Her depression was probably not helped much after seeing the daily's of this movie! What an awful awful film!

Just brilliant.. Look at the world class actors on show just for this picture...Lucille Ball, Phill Shivers, Hane Mansfield, Terry Thomas, Jerry Bishop, Ed Cesear, Jack Benny. The list goes on"Cheating" on a grand scale is carried out here. But it is done in a humorous way. If that can be achieved???Terry Thomas has a small part in this movie. However, that small part alone is worth the price of the DVD. Just brilliant.Walter Mattheu is being taught the "ropes" by his Master Robert Morse on how to get away with "Murder".Every trick in the book is used in never getting caught,. Certain rules have to be adhered to to achieve this.The original sex comedy but done with Hollywoods backing proper on this picture. Risky subject, but the they managed to pull it of.I want ot be able to purchase this DVD, as I have just watch this on Tcm. Does any one know where you can purchase this DVD in England????Please let me know????

Walter Matthau pretty much carries this on his back for two hours while getting "how to score" advice from his buddy, Robert Morse. It's fairly cheezy stuff, but the women are beautiful, especially Inger Stevens as Walter's hot wife. No one looks better in a bikini that Inger (so soon before her fateful end).This kind of movie could never be made nowadays (it's no PC at all). Jackie Russell is gorgeous, and Jayne Mansfield has a hilarious with the great Terry Thomas, looking for a bra. Joey Bishop is actually funny for once and Phil Silvers and Jack Benny do their usual schmaltzy act. I still give this a 6!
