The last of Sturges's Hollywood films, and one of his finest. This farce of misconceptions, infidelities, and murder is a brilliantly stylish work that imaginatively squeezes everything it can from the film medium. Harrison, in a marvelous performance,...read the complete Unfaithfully Yours (1948) review at TV Guide Entertainment Network, Movie Guide

No director ever matched Preston Sturges's way of blending low slapstick and literate dialogue comedy....read the complete Unfaithfully Yours (1948) review at Chicago Reader

Unfaithfully Yours (Criterion Collection) One of the great classics! Wanted to see if for years and was delighted to find it on DVD. Unusual humor and drama mix. Preston Sturges films are ...

A cinema technique in advance of its time. Head and shoulders above its more recent remake. Harrison never got his just due for his outstanding comedic efforts. Rue de Valle and other period character actors make this absolutely worthwhile to own for ...

When I saw this movie as a kid, it was billed as a murder mystery, and I recall being so horrified as Rex Harrison planned and executed his fiendish and ghastly perfect crime that I wanted to leave the movie theatre; and then when the entire scenario was ...

Preston Sturges knows how to write interesting characters in bizarre situations. This is a jealousy-plagued love story with plot lines acted out in Rex Harrison's character's mind, then carried out with varying results. The basic premise is brilliant ...

Definitely a movie that is worth having in any collection. The subject matter is as relevant today as it was in 1948, but the presentation can probably be better appreciated now than it was when it was first released. It is a very intelligent movie, and ...

This film marked the beginning of the end for writer/director Preston Sturges. Subsequent to this his troubles with studios would limit his productivity; all that followed on film is the hit-or-miss "Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend" and the dismaying ...

It is easy to understand why they changed everything but the bare premise of this movie for the 1984 remake. After all, the 1948 original staggered beneath the weight of massive burdens. Its star performer not only consented but actually seemed to ...

Preston Sturges just might be the greatest writer/director ever to have worked in Hollywood. Of his great comedies, any one may be said to be his finest: the moving humor of Sullivan's Travels, the censor-defying scandal-causing hilarity of The Miracle ...

Says British conductor Alfred De Carter to his younger and adoring wife, Daphne, at the close of Unfaithfully Yours, "A thousand poets dreamed a thousand years...and you were born, my love." Before we get there, however, we are in the midst of one of the ...

Preston Sturges conceived, produced, wrote and directed this comic symphony at the peak of his creative powers, deftly combining fast, stinging dialogue with moments of inspired physical comedy. Harrison is in his element, with all his trademark ...
