Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This time capsule from a bygone era features an amazing Dean Martin bachelor pad and the delectable sight of Frank Sinatra go-go dancing in a rock club. Such campy pleasures are the main appeal of Marriage on the Rocks, a sitcom-style comedy about marital dissatisfaction and legal confusion. Sinatra's been married to Deborah Kerr for 19 years, but her boredom with his stick-in-the-mud personality has her leaping to shake things up--especially when a Mexican vacation accidentally divorces the two. How Dino gets himself wedged into this mess is the stuff of labored farce. The two Rat Pack buddies have done this so many times they barely rouse themselves to mix the highballs, with only the presence of Frank's daughter Nancy, in a supporting role, stirring the fatherly spark. Trini Lopez contributes a song, in the aforementioned nightclub, and Cesar Romero has a buffoonish role as a do-everything Mexican local official. The whole enterprise has the air of hedge-betting about it, and everybody looks as though they're fulfilling a contractual obligation. --Robert Horton

Product Description

What do you do when you have a beautiful house, two great children, and a Marriage on the Rocks? If you're bored Val Edwards (Deborah Karr), you swap your fuddy-duddy hubby Dan (Frank SInatra) for his swingin' bachelor best friend Ernie (Dean Martin) - and watch the spraks fly. Ol' Blue Eyes breezes through this romantic comedy romp at the head of an all-star cast. Along for the laughs are frequent Sinatra co-stars Martin, Cesar Romero, and Tony Bill, plud daughter Nancy Sinatra and Kerr. The fun starts when the Edwards take a second honeymoon in Mexico and fall into the hands of the quickie-divorce/quickie-marriage lawyer Romero. Faster then jumping beans, everybody's unhitched, rehitched, confused, confounded, and cohabitating. But Dan has the right attitude. "We had a bad marriage", he says. "Let's have a happy divorce!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Delight, September 27, 2000
By "hwgfan" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marriage on the Rocks [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a great movie. If you love Frank Sinatra, you'll love this one. It is a light hearted comedy, with all the charm and pizazz that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin give the screen. You will smile all from beginning to end at all the confusion that erupts. It is must see for all the fans of 1950s and 1060s movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marriage on the Rocks, August 28, 2009
By Helen Bradford (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Marriage on the Rocks (DVD)
This movie gave me great delight as I really enjoyed looking back at the good clean style of movie made back in this era. The actors are great - especially Deborah Kerr - and I especially liked the interaction between the friendship of the characaters played by Frank and Dean. I wish there were more movies made along these lines for todays audience, which suits us baby boomers. All the sex, violence and action of today's films is unnecessary. Suggestiveness gives room for the imagination. I fully recommend this movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did They Do It For The Paycheck?, July 4, 2010
This review is from: Marriage on the Rocks (DVD)
This film has a stellar cast, many of whom are adept at playing comedy.

But, this is not a funny movie.

The basic story premise has the potential to be a marvelous farce, but the script is mundane and the director has no sense of comedy timing.

The only bright spot in the picture is Cesar Romero, who steals every scene that he's in. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to get much help from his fellow players.

My guess is that Sinatra and Martin owed another picture to Warner Brothers, so they did this one to get rid of the commitment. Why else would they agree to do such a terrible script?

Where is Billy Wilder when you need him?
