MOVIE: How to Murder Your Wife
NUTSHELL: A confirmed bachelor cartoonist wakes up married to an Italian beauty queen who speaks no English and only has a bathing suit, a sash and a raincoat. Strangely, this makes him unhappy and he dreams of murdering her.
GOOD THINGS: Verna Lisi, Jack Lemmon, New York in the 60’s, hair, Verna Lisi, outfits, dogs with ribboned top knots, Verna Lisi
BAD THINGS: Most annoying character/actor ever: Eddie Mayehoff
FEATURES: Claire Trevor, Terry-Thomas and his hyphen, Mary Wickes, construction equipment, Jack Albertson, a poodle
UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS: Quite a bit of Heman Womanhating going on
NOTABLE: Proof that the HeMan Woman Haters Club makes exception if you’re a beauty queen in a bathing suit. By Allah! somehow I will work in a Jason Lee in Chasing Amy connection. Just give me a week.
BEST PART: Beauty queen pageant recounting except what the HELL is a lasagna souffle?
BEST LINE: I forget the lines but Verna Lisi sure is cute.
CROWNS: 3 out of 5
