A Guide for the Married Man (1967)

I wanted to but couldn't!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I must first give thanks to former President Bill Clinton. If not for his many cheating escapades, most importantly with Monica Lewinsky, which led to his idiotic, finger wagging denials, this gem may never have resurfaced. There'll be those few, very insecure women and a few beaten down into submission politically correct men that will bomb this movie. Foe everyone else, sit back and laugh. Talk about a babe fest, this is it. Elaine Devry, Inger Stevens, Sue Ann Langdon, Linda Harrison, Jayne Mansfield plus more. Talk about a comedy cameo fest. Jack Benny, Phil Silvers, Sid Ceasar, Lucille Ball, Joey Bishop and many more. Anyone who has seen this will tell you about the classic "deny, deny, deny" scene with Joey Bishop but there are plenty more funny scenes to go along with that. Terry Thomas has one of the funniest lines of all time in his scene with the ridiculous, incredible, you can't believe it, most phenomenal body of the beautiful Jayne Mansfield. I think the 1st joke is that an unattractive, fish faced Walter Matthau is married to a babe like Inger Stevens, 2nd is that he ignores her when she strips in front of him to get into her nightie, 3rd is that he would even contemplate cheating on her. It must be this way, if he were married to a "dog", we would understand his wanting to cheat, especially with Elaine Devry. Oh my, what a beautiful, alluring, seductive woman. I can't understand why she didn't make it bigger. Robert Morse (from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" also very funny) and Walter Matthau play off of each other superbly. Morse is lending Matthau advice on how to cheat without getting caught. Whatever you do, don't take this movie so seriously, have fun and enjoy and remember the moral of the story "there is no place like home".

I was 12 years old when this film was made. I remember the sex comedies from the 60s and this is no comedy. I recently watched this movie with a friend who wanted to see it because Leonard Maltin gave it 3 1/2 stars. Well, good old Leonard must have been seeing stars when watching this one. I would have given it a BOMB rating. It was intended to be a comedy. The only thing missing was a laugh track. And it sure needed one. If you enjoyed TV shows like "Love American Style" or "Three's Company," then you might enjoy giving up 90 minutes of your life to watch this very poor film. First of all, the premise was not even believable. As one reviewer mentioned, Walter Matthau plays a character who has not even lost interest in his wife played by knockout beauty Inger Stevens. He's just toying with cheating on her because he thinks he is supposed to because it's the liberated and sophisticated 1960s. Oh, brother. I am embarrassed for director Gene Kelly. Think about it. There a reason why this film is rarely mentioned. It's a waste of time.

Wow. We really HAVE come a long way, baby.This is a classic 1960s-style sex farce, with lots of close-ups of boobs and bums. We are supposed to be endlessly amused by the education in adultery given by Robert Morse to a seven-year-itchy Walter Matthau, despite his marriage to bombshell Inger Stevens. And we might be, if it weren't all made up of puerile sophomoric leering. This is "Porky's" for the adult set.What makes it worse is that Matthau's attempt at actual adultery is nipped in the bud, in the final scenes, by his triumphant devotion to his wife. This is textbook 1960 sex farce morality--lots of leering and innuendo before inevitably reinforcing conventional morality.Revolting.

Walter Matthau pretty much carries this on his back for two hours while getting "how to score" advice from his buddy, Robert Morse. It's fairly cheezy stuff, but the women are beautiful, especially Inger Stevens as Walter's hot wife. No one looks better in a bikini that Inger (so soon before her fateful end).This kind of movie could never be made nowadays (it's no PC at all). Jackie Russell is gorgeous, and Jayne Mansfield has a hilarious with the great Terry Thomas, looking for a bra. Joey Bishop is actually funny for once and Phil Silvers and Jack Benny do their usual schmaltzy act. I still give this a 6!
