A Guide For The Married Man (1967)

An hour and a half of comedy skits on adultery can get old pretty fast. Walter Matthau gets restless in his marriage and his thoughts turn to other women. Never mind that he's married to Inger Stevens who not only looks terrific in a bikini but can cook and do windows, too! His satyr of a neighbor (Robert Morse) acts as his mentor and takes him through a series of cautionary tales on the dos and don'ts of cheating on your wife. These tales are actually the best part of the film and performed by a series of cameos by the likes of Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Jayne Mansfield, Jeffrey Hunter, Phil Silvers, Sid Caesar, Polly Bergen and Terry Thomas among others. It's pretty much a time capsule of its era, the mid 1960s, in its morality and its leering attitude toward all things sexual. Gene Kelly acts as traffic cop ... I mean director and there's a swinging 60s score by a pre-John Johnny Williams. The large cast includes Sue Ane Langdon, Claire Kelly, Wally Cox, Joey Bishop, Linda Harrison, Carl Reiner, Sam Jaffe and Art Carney.
