A flop for the genius writer-director Preston Sturges, but also his last great movie.

Full Review | Feb 1, 2023

In the last great film by Preston Sturges, the writer-director's signature wit and slapstick come together with an hysterical sense of the macabre, forming a comedy far ahead of its time.

You get a little bit of everything here, and it's all Preston Sturges'.

One of the most sophisticated slapstick comedies ever made.

No director ever matched Preston Sturges's way of blending low slapstick and literate dialogue comedy.

It is too bad that Preston Sturges is not compelled by law to turn out at least one movie -- maybe two -- a year. For nobody makes films as he does.

Not much liked at the time, but a small masterpiece just the same in its skilful blending of moods, genuinely moving and quite beautifully played by Harrison and Darnell.

Unfaithfully Yours (1948) is a wonderful, brilliant and stylish comedy by Preston Sturges - it was the last of his Hollywood films.
