Not the way I remember it on TV - VHS is edited?, September 28, 2005
This review is from: The Secret Life of An American Wife [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Walter Matthau is at his best as a 60's swinging drunk, and Anne Jackson is charming in this movie that, if remade, could feature Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. One note, I watched this movie on the 'Late Late Late Show' many moons ago, and I think this VHS version of the movie might be an edited version, as I believe the TV version was much 'racier' than this tape. This tape version is slightly more than a "G" but less than a "PG", but most certainly not an "R" as there is no nudity or vulgar language - everything is merely suggested. So I'm surprised that the tape is probably sanitized, and doesn't merit an "R". Ratings questions aside, it is a cute movie, and a great look back at the late 60's. A real 'swinging' movie taking you back to the "Austin Powers" party times.

The Secret Life of an American Wife, March 18, 2005
This review is from: The Secret Life of An American Wife [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a great movie! The Secret Life of an American Wife is
is the original Desperate Housewives. Anne Jackson, Walter
Matthau and Patrick O'Neal are and were the great actors of the
1960's. Just sit back and enjoy it and have a good laugh.
