Why not just give the money to charity?
I heard about this movie from tiktok and amazingly it was so so good! I’m so happy I watched it!
This is boring and overacted
OMG! Edith head is amazing!!!
Paul Newman is my fave husband and character love this role of his most besides "Cool Hand Luke" and Edith Head's costume design is stellar and impeccable!!! Never to be repeated! Nothing like the 60s my fave decade! 💯
I loved watching this film when I was younger. I'm so glad I found it again 💞
never knew this film exists, I love it,thanks!!!!!
Dean always gets his girl.
This has to be the best classic film I've seen to date. Wish there were more like it! If anyone can recommend anything equally creative I'd love to see it.
Movie with great lesson
Fantastic quality. I am 73 and this is the first time I have seen this movie, thank you ! Great cast !
فيلم كوميدي رومانسي رائع وجميل
لن تمل من تكراره
طرح قضية " المال لا يجلب السعادة دائماً ، بل أحياناً يكون نقمة "

What a sad state of affairs when people don't get this movie. I'm pretty sure the negative comments are posted by the folks who watched it from the recommendation on TicTok

I came from TikTok to see how it ends
Wow!!! I saw this movie in the 60's and never found it again. Thanks.

She loved the 4 husbands for their simple lives ,and when they got richer and richer , she hated that lifestyle , should i call her a steel digger ,🤫🤫. Well ,just kidding 😂. So laugh
Thank you for the beautiful movie.
Great cast I enjoy very much.
Very funny.
I love Shirley she's wonderful.
I’d never heard of this movie until today, on Tik Tok. Can’t wait to watch it.
What a absolutely pleasure watching this movie full of persiflages of 60s famous movies scenes, dancing scenes, stars, costumes, wigs till to the Pop Art artists Niki de St. Phalle & Jean Tinguely. So amazing. And Gene Kelly persiflates himself – what a great fun. Thanks for uploading🥰The right movie to remind to great Shirley MacLaine for her 88th Birthday 🎂Happy Birthday 🎂but also to the great Golden Era of Hollywood

Shirley McClain's stunning in this movie. The perfect choice for the part. She really is a beauty w/legs a mile long.
46:50 – 55:50
What a enjoyable movie, I remember seeing it when I was a kid and laughing my fool head off at the way that they all met their demise. It made me smile to see it again. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing it.
The Dresses she wore was by Edith Head and I quote her favorite lines…."You can have anything you want in Life if you Dress for it…..Your Dresses should be tight enough to show you're a Woman and loose enough to show you're a Lady…..Edith Head
Tik tok brought me here and boy am I glad. What a fun movie and Shirley McClain looks stunning.
