All the films played by Walter Matthau are good for me.

Gene Kelly directs this salad-lite comedy farce (filmed in the swing-tastic 60's ... free love, baby!) about how to cheat in your marriage and keep the marriage. The solution? Lie, baby, lie, and Robert Morse is the swinging nerd offering advice to nervous-but-tempted first timer Walter Matthau. There's plenty of inappropriate-in-the #MeToo era shots of women walking away from you with closeups of their butts. Gene Kelly made this??? And plenty of star cameos too. Light hearted fun.

Probably the most sexist film ever made with a cavalcade of stars and cameos, thanks to Gene Kelly directing. You need a score card to keep track of all the stars in this.

Ed Stander (Robert Morse), with the help of an all-star cast, teaches Paul Manning (Walter Matthau) the fine art of philandering in A Guide for the Married Man. Paul, happily married to sexy Ruth (Inger Stevens), has no burning desire to cheat, but Ed makes the prospect sound very attractive. Finally taking the "big step" with a glamorous brunette after months of careful preparation, Paul finds that he loves his wife way too much to betray her -- while the ever-careful Ed ends up in divorce court. Among the myriad of "advisors" peppered throughout Guide for the Married Man are Art Carney, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Jayne Mansfield, Terry-Thomas, and Carl Reiner. The best guest-star vignette features Joey Bishop as a man caught in bed with another woman by his wife -- whereupon he calmly puts on his clothes, straightens up the room, and quietly responds to his wife's outrage by saying "What bed? What girl?" Adapted by Frank Tarloff from his book of the same name, Guide for the Married Man was directed by Gene Kelly, who makes a cameo "appearance" of his own as a voice on a TV set.

Funny movie about the rules of cheating while married. Ed:" Basic principle number one: Never, NEVER say you'll be where you can be found not to be".

A very funny sexual farce, directed by Gene Kelly, starring Walter Matthau, Robert Morse, Sue Ane Langdon, Jackie Russell, and Inger Stevens, with an incredible all-star cameo ensemble, including Jack Benny, Polly Bergen, Lucille Ball, Buster Keaton, Majel Barrett, Jayne Mansfield, Joey Bishop, Art Carney, Wally Cox, Sid Caesar, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, and Ben Blue. Robert Morse teaches his straight pal Walter Matthau how to have affairs with other women and get away with it, and explains all the dos and don'ts through the stories acted out by the supporting cast of comedians. Screamingly funny and entertaining.
