What a Way to Go (1964)

Plot:  A Widow discusses her 4 deceased husbands, all of whom died rich.
Stars: Shirley Maclaine, Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Dick van Dyke, Paul Newman

A frothy, often silly, comedy that never takes itself seriously and allows Shirley MacLaine to wear 100 different costumes, have 50 different hair styles, show off her dancing and interact with some great stars.  The production values are lush; at times over-the-top. Everyone turns in a solid performance. The highlights include Gene Kelly as the absurd "Pinky", his dance with Shirley, and Newman as a Parisian artist. Summary:  An enjoyable star vehicle for Maclaine, its all Shirley, all the time.  Her co-stars and production values make up for the B- script and direction.  But its more amusing than funny.
