Product Description

Director Gene Kelly demonstrates wonderful style and sophistication in this adult farce that stars Walter Matthau and Robert Morse as two husbands with one thing on their minds. Matthau is Paul Manning, a happily married "typical suburban male." Wanting other women but having no idea how to go about it, he turns to his friend, Ed (Morse), for a few tips on infidelity. And Ed willingly dishes up some of the funniest advice and anecdotes ever seen-brought to life by a top cast that includes Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Joey Bishop, Sid Caesar, Art Carney, Phil Silvers and Jayne Mansfield. Despite its delicate subject matter, this wild, wicked comedy is executed with such charm and affection that it won strong critical praise and was one of the top moneymakers of its year.

Amazon.com

Directed with a lascivious eye by Gene Kelly, A Guide for the Married Man has the illicit kick of finding a vintage copy of Playboy in your dad's sock drawer. With its zoom shots of ample cleavage and jiggling bottoms, this sophisticated sex farce is Naughty with a capital N. Walter Matthau stars as a desperate husband with a roving eye who is "ready to take the plunge." Robert Morse costars as his philandering best friend who becomes his "coach." Morse's "pointers" are acted out by a stellar cast of comic actors. Scoring highest are Carl Reiner as a vainglorious movie star arranging a cross-global tryst; Joey Bishop as a husband who steadfastly denies, denies, denies even after he is caught in the act by his wife, and Terry Thomas as a man driven to an early grave after his paramour (Jayne Mansfield) loses her bra in his home. The film's bevy of beauties includes ravishing Inger Stevens as Matthau's unsuspecting wife and Sue Ann Langdon as the neighborhood tease. Just to make the film even more '60s, The Turtles perform the title song. A Guide for the Married Man is so wrong, so dated, and so sexist. It's a wonder it hasn't been remade! --Donald Liebenson

Swingin' 60's SPOILER ALERT

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you're a Madmen fanatic, this may be perfect for you.

Gene Kelly (!) directs a totally amusing, sometimes very funny, and always mind-boggling slice of the mid-60's middle class male sensibility following the invention of The Pill. Plenty of male chauvinism and dumb blondes and martinis, so if anyone who wasn't alive then wants a little reality on pre-feminist sex and marriage, this may suffice.

This subject matter, script, and peek-a-boo jiggle were risque for the 1967 neighborhood movie screen. Released before the MPA ratings system was codified, I imagine no one under the age of 18 would have been admitted to see it in theatres.

If you are very sensitive about infidelity, this may not be for you. ONE LINE SPOILER: But it does have an upbeat ending in favor of fidelity, and it doesn't hurt that Matthau's preposterously long-suffering spouse is GORGEOUS Inger Stevens... you just KNOW he'll come to realize what a nice deal he's already got.

Huge bonus to ogle (in gorgeous technicolor) all the women's fashions & hairstyles, flashy American cars, decor, etc, of that era. Pretty much without showing any miniskirts (that 40 million teenagers were starting to wear), this is not a hip young movie. This movie was for married squares for the most part.

Great vignettes by comedic actors of the day (Lucille Ball, Sid Caesar, e.g.) and the best ones are with Rob Reiner, Art Carney, Joey Bishop, Jayne Mansfield, Jack Benny. In co-starring roles, Robert Morse and Walter Matthau manage to share the screen without one overshadowing the other.

One oddity: There are two reels of this film that are a bit out of focus, so perhaps there were technical problems with the existing print used to create the DVD. Fortunately, they are not at pivotal moments visually.

A Bit of Amusement

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2005

Verified Purchase

This is a very 60's style comedy. It purports to be risqué, and I suppose it was by the standards of that day, but it is rather tame by today's standards. Much of it is dated but that did not stop it from being a fairly enjoyable romp.

Walter Matthau and Robert Morse are the stars of the show. They play well of men who are friends and office in the same building. Both are reportedly happily married men. What differentiates them is that Matthau's character is a faithful husband while Morse is a philanderer. Matthau's faithfulness, however, does not keep his eyes from wandering and enjoying the bounties of feminine architecture. Morse, advises him that it is his duty to cheat on his wife, if he loves her, so that he does not completely lose it in public one day and embarrass everyone. He offers to train him up in the tactics and strategies to successfully hoodwink the wife and is taken up on his offer.

Although Matthau and Morse are the stars, the film is filled with cameo appearances by other big names of the time. These appearances advance the story by presenting various vignettes describes successes and failures of infidelity. These are usually the source of the humor in this film. They are well thought out, often, convoluted or contrived and usually very funny. Jack Benny's penny pinching methods to dump a mistress play particularly well to his public persona.

While all the immorality is going on, the film has a surprise ending just as the big goal is a bout to be achieved. It's a fun film but not particularly memorable.

Sex in the 60's

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2006

Verified Purchase

Directed by the dancemaster himself, Gene Kelly takes a hilarious look at the art of deception: Infidelity!

Without being vulgar or mean-spirited, the story revolves around a restless husband (played splendidly by Matthau) being taught the finer points on how to cheat by a zen master of infidelity: a leering Robert Morse, whose approach to the subject combines the brilliance and cunning of a 5-star general with the stealth of a ninja. Morse freely dispenses words of wisdom to the eager Matthau, who gapes incredulously at his mentor's sage advice. The irony here is that while Matthau is ogling gorgeous women throughout the movie, he is married to a drop-dead beautiful wife of his own, the lovely Inger Stevens.

One of the highlights of the movie is that when Morse makes a point we get to see it acted out by an all-star cast of legendary performers. In fact the list of actors is a who's-who of comedic legends. My favorite scene is the one with Joey Bishop (what woman?).

Given the politically correct nature of our times and the overtly sexist nature of the movie, with it's closepups of jiggling breasts, swishing derrieres, and curvaceous legs, I doubt this film could be made in the new millennium, especially with it's women-as-subservient-to-men connotations.

All that aside, one of the funniest comedies of it's era and one of my favorites.

Wow! What a Cast! Who’s Who of the Sixties

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This 1967 comedy farce featuring the song “ A Guide For The Married Man” by the Turtles is shot in Panavision and Color by Deluxe. It plays like a Blu-ray in the Blu-ray player on 1080 P screens very well.

Walter Matthau, Paul Manning, plays Inga Steven’s (Ruth Who?) husband in this 60’s moral style comedy with Robert Moss as Ed, Paul’s lawyer friend and confidant. Paul is a happily married man persistently influenced by his pal Ed in cheating on his wife. There are many iconic advertisements in the film such as: United Air Lines, Hertz, Dodge products, A&W Drive-Ins, and the Princess phone.

The film is directed by Gene Kelly and attains a higher level with a top cast of the 60’s greatest comics in various vignettes.

All I learned in this film was deny, deny, deny!
