A one-joke film - man fantasises about cheating on his wife - but some of the variations on the joke are very funny, and Marilyn Monroe is incandescent. You'll see a lot of Tom Ewell - he's in most scenes - as the day dreaming wannabe Don Draper. Ewell works here - gumby face, self delusion... Jack Lemmon would've been too young, James Stewart wouldn't have been right.
Evelyn Keyes is his wife and Sonny Tufts not bad as the imagined love rival. Good on Sonny Tufts for being in a hit. It's Marilyn's film though.
