Guide For The Married Man DVD

 Deny, Deny, DENY!
After 12 years of marriage, Walter Matthau is ready for a change. He takes infidelity lessons from a friend (Robert Morse), and the result is a large number of comic scenes. A high-spirited film, largely due to Matthau's wonderful performance and Gene Kelly's inspired direction. The legendary Jayne Mansfield appears as a dumb blonde with Terry-Thomas as a philander who spend the night together in his house while his wife's out of town. Panic sets in when the roving "Tiger's" buxom playmate manages to lose her bra "in the heat of battle." Though short, it's a highly amusing bit. Another great vignette is one in which Carl Reiner as a mega movie star sets up a rendezvous with a nubile starlet (Linda Harrison). They fly off in opposite directions to make their way by plane, ship, bus, rickshaw and skis to meet in a chalet in the Alps just as the actor's wife breaks in. The laugh's on Matthau, of course, as a misguided soul who would consider cheating on his beautiful and so much the perfect wife (Inger Stevens). That alone should qualify him as fig-head of the year. With a sparkling score by John(ny) Williams and a great title track by The ("Happy Together") Turtles. I have always hoped for a sequel where we catch up with Terry-Thomas, still desperately searching for Mansfield's missing bra! [filmfactsman]
