What A Way To Go

What A Way To Go Shirley MacLaine, Paul Newman, Dean Martin.

WOW! The way movies used to be...

I thought with Gene Kelly, it would be the rest of their lives as a musical.....

But fame and fortune always interrupted......

Until she met a "failure" and even with a surprise ending........it was how it should be...

"What a Way to Go!" (1964) is a black comedy film directed by J. Lee Thompson, known for its satire on wealth, marriage, and misfortune. The movie features a remarkable cast and offers a quirky take on life, love, and the consequences of fortune. Plot The story follows Louisa May Foster (Shirley MacLaine), a woman who, despite her best efforts, seems to find herself married to extremely wealthy but tragically unlucky men. Each time she marries, her husbands meet untimely, often absurd deaths, and Louisa ends up inheriting their fortunes.

Over the years, Louisa becomes a widow multiple times, with each marriage resulting in a bizarre or unfortunate death for her husband. First, she marries a poor man (Paul Newman) who later becomes a successful artist, but he dies in a strange accident. Then, she weds a playboy millionaire (Dean Martin), and he too meets an unusual end. This pattern continues with her final husband, a rich businessman, played by Dick Van Dyke. As Louisa becomes wealthier after each marriage, her mental and emotional state is put to the test.

The film humorously explores the absurdity of her situation, as well as the theme of bad luck and how wealth can’t buy happiness.
