| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniAs in so many of Hollywood's attempts at sex comedies everyone talks about it but nobody really does anything. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumExtremely politically incorrect (endorsing infidelity) w/huge cast of comedians. |
| User ReviewSabra DThis movie is hilarious. I've seen it dozens of times. Some old movies suck and so that's why alot of people haven't seen this cuz it sounds dumb, but it's really not. It's actually a little before it's time and raunchy. |
| User ReviewJason SEd Stander (Robert Morse), with the help of an all-star cast, teaches Paul Manning (Walter Matthau) the fine art of philandering in A Guide for the Married Man. Paul, happily married to sexy Ruth (Inger Stevens), has no burning desire to cheat, but Ed makes the prospect sound very attractive. Finally taking the "big step" with a glamorous brunette after months of careful preparation, Paul finds that he loves his wife way too much to betray her -- while the ever-careful Ed ends up in divorce court. Among the myriad of "advisors" peppered throughout Guide for the Married Man are Art Carney, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Jayne Mansfield, Terry-Thomas, and Carl Reiner. The best guest-star vignette features Joey Bishop as a man caught in bed with another woman by his wife -- whereupon he calmly puts on his clothes, straightens up the room, and quietly responds to his wife's outrage by saying "What bed? What girl?" Adapted by Frank Tarloff from his book of the same name, Guide for the Married Man was directed by Gene Kelly, who makes a cameo "appearance" of his own as a voice on a TV set. |
| User ReviewStan DA very funny sexual farce, directed by Gene Kelly, starring Walter Matthau, Robert Morse, Sue Ane Langdon, Jackie Russell, and Inger Stevens, with an incredible all-star cameo ensemble, including Jack Benny, Polly Bergen, Lucille Ball, Buster Keaton, Majel Barrett, Jayne Mansfield, Joey Bishop, Art Carney, Wally Cox, Sid Caesar, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, and Ben Blue. Robert Morse teaches his straight pal Walter Matthau how to have affairs with other women and get away with it, and explains all the dos and don'ts through the stories acted out by the supporting cast of comedians. Screamingly funny and entertaining. |
| User ReviewMiroslav Ommm my favorite film. It worth to see. Especially with your partner :-D |
| User ReviewMorten LThis movie is just so funny! Very well made comedy and definitely watchable. |
| User ReviewPrivate UWalter Matthau in one of his best works plays a guy learning how to cheat on his wife. The stories he's told about others doing that are funny (especially the girl losing her bra at the guy's house.) |
| User ReviewSarah MA fun, fun movie with one of the greatest cast of comedians ever assembled on film. While the main action in this film is a tad trite, the little skits involving comedy greats like: Joey Bishop (deny! deny! deny!), Jack Benny and Wally Cox make this film worth it. Robert Morse also puts in one of his best performances as a true cad. Such an unlikely film to come from the eye of squeaky clean Gene Kelly. |
