Unfaithfully Yours

Unfaithfully Yours (1948) starring Rex Harrison, Linda Darnell. Directed by Preston Sturges. Harrison stars as a famous conductor named Alfred in this comedy; Darnell plays his devoted younger wife whom he mistakenly suspects of cheating on him. While conducting a concert one night, he fantasizes about how he will deal with her -- first killing her, then forgiving her, then challenging her "lover" to a game of Russian roulette. When he goes home and starts trying to act out his fantasies, a slapstick bonanza ensues. This is a pretty masterful comedy, for 1948. It will certainly satisfy and amuse viewers who enjoy old movies. I found the humor predictable but still entertaining. (English subtitles are available, and can only be accessed via the remote control of your DVD  player. No closed captions.) Grade: B
