While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Painfully lame comedy. Victor Moore gets a license to marry people on Christmas, but doesn't realize it doesn't go into effect until New Year's Day. In that span, he marries five couples, and this film tells the five stories of what happens when they find out. The answer: nothing at all interesting. Not a single one of these scenarios is the least bit amusing. Only Marilyn Monroe completists ever need watch this film. I seriously don't even remember her story, though. I think she was a beauty pageant contestant who finds out she can't compete if she's married, but then she finds out she's not, so everything's okay. That's the level of storytelling we're dealing with here. Also starring Ginger Rogers, Mitzi Gaynor, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Paul Douglas and Jane Darwell.

Back in the '50s, a common sitcom episode was the married couple finding out that they're not legally married."We're Not Married," a 1952 film, has five such couples, including Fred Allen and Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and David Wayne, Eve Arden and Paul Douglas, Eddie Bracken and Mitzi Gaynor, and Louis Calhern and Zsa Zsa Gabor.There were several episodic, anthology-type films from this period. "We're Not Married" deals with five very different couples and what the notice of non-marriage means to each couple. There's a wealthy man (Calhern) married to a gold digger (Gabor), a bickering husband and wife radio couple (Allen and Rogers), a couple in a slump (Paul Douglas and Eve Arden), an ambitious young woman and her husband (Monroe and Wayne) etc.The best is the Calhern-Gabor, and Allen and Rogers make a good team and give bright performances. There are some funny sequences throughout.Mores have changed a lot since this film, but it makes for pleasant watching with good direction by Edmund Goulding.

Fred Allen, Ginger Rogers, Victor Moore, David Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Eve Arden, Mitzi Gaynor, Eddie Braken, Paul Douglas, Jane Darnell, James Gleason, Paul Stewart AND Zsa Zsa Gabor! Now that's MY idea of an all-star cast! Yes, "We're Not Married" is a light comedy for sure, but an enjoyable one. I for one got a kick out of the scene in which Zsa Zsa is raking her husband over the coals in a divorce settlement only to find out that she's not actually married! Call it art half imitating life! For anyone who loves films from the 30s,40s and 50s, this is a minor gem that should be seen at least once. I had thought I'd seen every movie that I'd ever enjoy at least once, so this came as a very welcome surprise. I just saw it on AMC which meant lots of commercial stops, so look for it on the Fox Movie Channel.

This is a thoroughly entertaining little piece of fluff with a great comic premise and good performances from a fine cast. Ginger Rogers and Fred Allen, in particular, work wonderfully together as the bickering radio stars who must play a lovey-dovey couple on their morning show. It is too bad that Allen - who has such a wonderfully dry and cynical comic persona (sort of a Walter Matthau prototype) - didn't make more movies. This is a fun way to while away an hour and a half.
