One of those frustrating comedies in which misunderstandings arise because the characters fail to talk to one another. Stand-up comic George Gobel is an ad exec married to Diana Dors (before weight gain turned her into a plump parody of the sex-bomb she once was), who used to be the model for his agency's leading client.
"I Married a Woman" is a most unusual movie in 1956...in addition to having a pretty dumb title.
"I Married a Woman" was one of two American films made by Diana Dors in 1957/8 during her unsuccessful attempt to conquer Hollywood. (The other was "The Unholy Wife").
Loved, Loved, LOVED this movie! John Wayne is hilarious.
I guess George Goebel was a popular enough as a TV comedian that it was worth a try at seeing what he could do on the big screen. But outside of the peculiarities of his show, such as constantly turning to the audience and explaining what he's thinking, or anticipating what's to follow in a skit he's in, he is as generic a comic actor as could be.
When the biggest name in Hollywood gets a pivotal role, but is unbilled, there is something unusual happening.It gives away nothing to mention that the great John Wayne plays John Wayne in a movie within the movie, and his movie is color within the black-and-white "I Married A Woman.
This is probably more fun now than it was when it came out. rw0064594 Pat-54 "I Want to Live!
Wonderful to see the great Diana Dors in her prime. She really was an actress but was seldom allowed to show it, as in this film.
Diana dors is hot! But that's all!
