Movie Reviews of A Guide for the Married Man

Movie Review: Sex in the 60's
Summary: 5 Stars

Directed by the dancemaster himself, Gene Kelly takes a hilarious look at the art of deception: Infidelity!

Without being vulgar or mean-spirited, the story revolves around a restless husband (played splendidly by Matthau) being taught the finer points on how to cheat by a zen master of infidelity: a leering Robert Morse, whose approach to the subject combines the brilliance and cunning of a 5-star general with the stealth of a ninja. Morse freely dispenses words of wisdom to the eager Matthau, who gapes incredulously at his mentor's sage advice. The irony here is that while Matthau is ogling gorgeous women throughout the movie, he is married to a drop-dead beautiful wife of his own, the lovely Inger Stevens.

One of the highlights of the movie is that when Morse makes a point we get to see it acted out by an all-star cast of legendary performers. In fact the list of actors is a who's-who of comedic legends. My favorite scene is the one with Joey Bishop (what woman?).

Given the politically correct nature of our times and the overtly sexist nature of the movie, with it's closepups of jiggling breasts, swishing derrieres, and curvaceous legs, I doubt this film could be made in the new millennium, especially with it's women-as-subservient-to-men connotations.

All that aside, one of the funniest comedies of it's era and one of my favorites.
