How to Murder Your Wife poster

Overview

Stanley Ford leads an idyllic bachelor life. He is a nationally syndicated cartoonist whose Bash Brannigan series provides him with a luxury townhouse and a full-time valet, Charles. When he wakes up the morning after the night before - he had attended a friend's stag party - he finds that he is married to the very beautiful woman who popped out of the cake - and who doesn't speak a word of English. Despite his initial protestations, he comes to like married life and even changes his cartoon character from a super spy to a somewhat harried husband.

01:13:42 Yes. Why?
01:26:49 Yes, ''old bat'' is what I said, and ''old bat'' is what I meant!
01:35:49 But it's only fair to warn you that...
01:39:04 Yes, sir, but you--
01:41:46 I really don't know what to say.
01:44:20 A button.
