Review of Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) by Kevin S — 21 Jul 2008
Frivolous fluff that was so controversial when it was released in 1964, the Vatican issued a proclamation forbidding Catholics from seeing it. I'm not catholic but I can certainly empathize with the Pope on this one.
Sadly, Kiss Me, Stupid seems to do what Hollywood does best, it takes marriage lightly and portrays adultery as romantic and exciting. The script is ridiculous, the jokes are weak and, to top it all off, the original casting of Peter Sellers and Marilyn Monroe ended up being Ray Walston and Barbara Pepper.
Sorry Billy Wilder, but even Dean Martin and Kim Novak combined couldn't pull this one out of the crapper.
