| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA star vehicle for Shirley MacLaine, Thompson's film is a tediously episodic black comedy about a wealthy widow and her five husbands; Newman, Mitchum, and Martin are all wasted. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA big, gaudy, gimmicky comedy which continually promises more than it delivers by way of wit and/or bellylaffs. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe talents of an incredible group of actors are pooled for this effervescent comedy that was originally conceived as a starring vehicle for Marilyn Monroe. |
| Hollywood ReporterJames PowersHard to define but easy to recommend; the 20th-Fox presentation is a funny musical comedy, or comedy with music, with all the glamour that Hollywood can throw into one film, and a high-powered cast to light the marquee. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherJ. Lee Thompson's direction has failed to coalesce a good, firm farce. It lets the whole thing flap wildly -- and that's no way to make a film. |
| User ReviewKevin ROK, so it's not really a GREAT film, but I love her taste in husbands! |
| User ReviewJessica Rthe costumes, the stars...utterly terrific |
| User ReviewGreg WI love this cute film with Shirley MacClaine only wanting to marry for love, but finding herself marrying over and over, getting richer each time. Oh what a son story!? No way! It's hilarious! |
| User ReviewLucy MThere are a lot of things I could say about this movie, but I'll just say this: Shirley MacLaine is the luckiest woman in the planet. What I wouldn't give to be in her shoes in this role! I mean, what a cast of great, great men. Those were indeed the days. If you're not interested in the sexiness of the male cast, just go for the very funny and colorful story and acting, including great dance numbers and magnificent costumes! There really is nothing there not to love. |
| User ReviewOHSnappage .Such a wonderful movie from the 60's. An amazing cast of hollywoods best in one film. It was witty, fun, stylish, and silly. |
