The greatest movie ever made..!

One of the best films i have seen

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Set to music, a symphony conductor (Rex Harrison) envisions multiple possible scenarios for dealing with his wife's infidelity.This film did not do well at the box office, and I cannot say I am surprised. While the idea of three alternate stories is interesting, it comes off as a bit boring and is not nearly as funny as something from Preston Sturges really ought to be.The only time I really found the film to be that amusing was when comments were made that I would have thought violated the Code. At one point, for example, the conductor makes a comment to his wife that he wished her father had shot himself before she was born. Wow, that's dark!

Symphony conductor Rex Harrison discovers his wife Linda Darnell has been unfaithful to him, or so it seems, according to a detective's investigation and report, requested by brother-in-law Rudy Vallee, who misunderstood Rex's parting words (while he was on tour) "of looking after my wife" and of whom Rex does not like, at all.While this movie is good, (and I don't say this very often if ever, but...), it has earned a somewhat overrated reputation over the years. It is funny in parts and it has class in spades, but its ending lays kind of flat given all the build-up to it. Its main attribute is Rex's hammy performance. He's the whole show, with all his emphatic and vociferous syllables, including Rudy Vallee jokes that Rudy is a bore. (It's ironic that Rudy's singing career in the 20s and 30s made him such a ladies' man celebrity and sensation, but in movies he's typecast as a stuffed shirt.) Overall, you may like this, and you will definitely laugh throughout the film, but there's no last laugh that leaves you smiling out the door.

Sir Alfred DeCarter is a famous orchestra leader much in demand. After he returns from one of his tours, he is told by his dense brother-in-law, August Henshler, that acting on Alfred's request, he engaged a private detective to follow Daphne, his wife. That is the way for August to comply with an innocent request for 'keeping an eye on her'. DeCarter goes into a rage because he would never suspect his Daphne of any wrongdoing and rips up the detective's report.The famous conductor has everything working against him as a sudden attack of jealousy gets the best of him. Alfred begins putting a plan together as he starts to lead his orchestra into a concert. As each piece in the program is played, Alfred begins planning how to deal with Daphne because he has reasons to believe she has been cheating him with Tony, his handsome, and younger, male secretary.Preston Sturges, the creative mind behind this enjoyable film, was at the top of his profession. With this film he solidified his position as one of the most innovative directors of that era in Hollywood. He wrote and directed with impeccable style that characterized most of the work he did for the cinema.Rex Harrison gave an amazing performance as Alfred, the conductor whose jealousy gets the best of him. The last sequence at his apartment, after the concert is one of the best comic turns by this actor who goes through all the emotions, and furniture, in a frenzied manner. Beautiful Linda Darnell is excellent, although her part doesn't allow her to do much more. Rudy Vallee, who had worked with Sturges before, shows an ability to bring to life his character. Barbara Lawrence, Kurt Kreuger, Lionel Stander, and Edgar Kennedy are seen in supporting roles.A delicious comedy thanks to Preston Sturges.

Preston Sturges was not only ahead of his time in 1948, he's ahead of his time in 2006. Many movie critics haven't caught up with his brilliant if somewhat warped mind yet. The remake of "Unfaithfully Yours," though not bad doesn't come close to the satire and farce of the original. Why Sturges even uses slapstick to spoof slapstick. Who else could take such a stuffed shirt item as classical music and the blatant arrogance associated with it and poke fun at it while at the same time giving the audience the treat of enjoying some heavenly classical selections that fit perfectly with the plot? Part of the fun in "Unfaithfully Yours" is to watch the ego of the pompous classical conductor Sir Alfred De Carter (note the moniker) being punctured and slowly deflating until all he has left are the murderous fantasies of an intensely possessive human being. Sturges' genius is to make us laugh at all this. Only Chaplin in his masterpiece "Monsieur Verdoux" can make the audience laugh at murder the way Sturges does in "Unfaithfully Yours."Not to take away from the excellent performances of the two leads, Rex Harrison and Linda Darnell, but the marvelous character actor Edgar Kennedy nearly steals the show playing the private detective Sweeney who just happens to be a lover of classical music and worships Sir Alfred who could handle Handel like nobody could handle Handel. Rudy Vallee too shines under Sturges' guiding hand the way he shone in "Palm Beach Story." Vallee was such a versatile entertainer that he could play just about any part but he was always at his best when Sturges was in the driver's seat.This is a film that the viewer has to watch several times to get the feel of what Preston Sturges is all about. Though Sturges left a gallant legacy of wonderful off the wall humorous works such as "The Great McGinty," "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek," and "Sullivan's Travels," this movie "Unfaithfully Yours" may very well be the best creation of them all.
