Format:DVD
Mr. Ford (Jack Lemmon), through his cartoon character (Bash Brannigan), finds himself not only married after a drunken bachelor party but also, starts reflecting on married life through his cartoon strip. His gentleman's gentleman, Charles (played to perfection by Terry Thomas) laments the ending of their masculine world and resigns. The problem is Mr. Ford's new wife is the exquisitely proportioned and delectable Virna Lisi. Mr. Ford meets Charles in a bar where the seed is sown for Bash Brannigan to murder his wife. What follows must be seen to be believed. This is 1960's comedy at its best, with a musical score to match. Jack Lemmon is terrific. The supporting cast, especially his attorney, are excellent counterpoints to the central protagonists (Mr. Ford and Charles), particularly in the concluding courtroom sequence. It's a superb film which tramples (unwittingly) over today's political correctness in matters of married life. But then, love can have many twists and turns.

Just sit back relax and enjoy this simple good old fashioned entertaining film. Cleverly constructed, beautifully played. Cant say much more than that.

This has Jack Lemmon and Terry Thomas at their best. The ideas in the movie are just superb and the whole film is sheer entertainment. The ending is as light as it gets without being cloying. A really amusing, absorbing film and a deserved classic.

Of course, Jack Lemmon had to pay the tax by the end of the year, that is probably why he agreed to do this silly film. Read more

Terry-Thomas is quality in this film.
Jack Lemmon is quite good an all, but for me Terry-Thomas steals the show :D

A Lemon
I am a huge fan of Jack Lemmon, but sadly this is a film to avoid. There is a man that looks like Jack Lemmon in the film, but he sure doesn't act like him. Read more
