Summary: Very confusingly titled comedy movie, entertaining cast
Review: The movie title is really misleading for this mildly satiric comedy that often time may felt overboard at present yet entertaining most of the time, thanks to Terry-Thomas, Jack Lemmon and Virna Lisi.
Its a pleasure to watch Virna Lisi, a classic beauty! Watch out for the great classic english comedy actor Terry-Thomas. He manages to deliver any piece of conversation with such a unique style of his own it is simply hilarious to watch.

Summary: The Good-natured Sanity of Satire
Review: There is absolutely nothing like good-natured satire for escape from the pressures of the workaday world, which insists on everyone being reasonable and restrained in their ire toward others. In the genre of high satire, "How to Murder Your Wife" takes one poke after another at the guys AND their ladies, both of whose unrealistic expectations toward one another periodically drive each other to the brink of ... could it be MURDER? This is STRICTLY for laughs -- and of course, paradoxically the best laughs come when a good moral results from the logical playing out of the perfectly orchestrated tomfoolery in this classic film.We need satire -- much more than we think -- to remain good-natured, even sane. It alone gives us the perspective to let down our self-righteous hair and laugh at ourselves. One is only certain that he has a friend when his friend isn't afraid to insult him once in awhile! Remember the profound psychological function of the Medieval court jester, alone of the King's subjects who could ridicule the King mercilessly ... and so keep him human in aspect. The Marx Brothers knew themselves to be Society's collective court jesters with a holy mission to insult the upper classes, who were taking themselves so perilously seriously in the '20s and '30s. So, may our insecurities of male and female social prerogatives vanish in a cloud of wholesome laughter in this ingenious stroke of good will -- and may we benefit from more and more good satire in future productions. For it is the perfect irony of this film that its theme is actually the passionate pursuit of harmony between the sexes, and not their mutual demise. Ah, give us a second helping of wit, Sir Terry Thomas!

Summary: Film's most hilarious courtroom scene
Review: This film will keep you laughing until it hurts. Jack Lemmon at his best with an outstanding supporting cast like they can't find any more. Accused of the murder of his wife, Lemmon fires his lawyer to defend himself - his star witness: the fired lawyer (Eddie Meierhoff). Witness a cross examination to end all cross examinations. The jury had no choice but to acquit! This is the movie that gave us the "gloppita gloppita" machine. Don't miss it - see it as a couple.

Summary: Absolutly Hilarious!
Review: This is one of those films that start out seeming to be about one thing, but turn out at the end to be about something else entirely. Jack Lemmon is a confirmed (?) bachelor, living in a town house with his valet, Terry-Thomas, when one morning, after a liquor-soaked bachelor party for a friend the night before, he wakes to find himself married (gulp) to the dazzlingly beautiful Virna Lisi. Trapped in a no-win situation, he cooks up a plot for her murder (only on paper, of course); but, when she disappears, he finds himself on trial for her actual murder. One of the great comedic courtroom scenes follows. When the [spoiler] at the end of the film, you realized that you've been duped -- the film, which seemed to be about the joys of woman-hating, turns out to be about one of the great themes of cinema - "love conquers all". Eddie Mayehoff and Claire Trevor are marvelous in supporing roles.

Summary: Thoroughly Enjoyable
Review: This is one to own! Lemmon doesn't miss a beat as the professed batchelor/cartoonist trying to figure out how he got married and what to do about it. I have watched this movie countless times and never get tired of it.

Summary: Hope to find Love like this .
Review: When I first saw this movie I was a teenager and I like the movie . Then I saw the movie on cable when I moved in my own house and Iwas glued to the t.v. That's when I found out where to buy it so I can watch it and think about where I can find or where a good kind man can find me even if were different.
