“Being married is the normal way to live… isn’t it?” The note of doubt at the end of that statement is fully exploited in How to Murder Your Wife (1965), a barbed piece of war-between-the-sexes comedy.

Just plain comedy
A grisly title but really one of the great comedies ever made. Everybody does a great job and there’s no stupid dialogue – just funny stuff.

How to Murder Your Wife…
I’ve just discovered today (03/23/2009) that this comedy classic is now available on DVD. I first saw this movie late night in the mid-1970’s.

Not a chickflick, a hysterical adventure and farewell to bachelorhood
The truth is beauty, and Virna Lisi is a goddess. Of all the women Jack Lemmon’s character should hook up to, she would have to be miss galaxy.

Smart, funny, yet makes you think again
A perfect Sunday morning movie, and one that is on my “best movies” list. The characters have been perfectly selected.

Bash Branigan Rules!
When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be this character. What a life he had!

How to Murder Your Wife
A chuckle all the way through. Jack Lemmon at his comedic best during his younger years. Virna Lisi was gorgeous and is still beautiful as she has gone on to more dramatic parts…

How to Murder Your Wife
Technically & artistically excellent, combined with the most enduring comedy I have ever had the pleasure to witness on film. The casting is superb.
