Amazon.com: This time capsule from a bygone era features an amazing Dean Martin bachelor pad and the delectable sight of Frank Sinatra go-go dancing in a rock club. Such campy pleasures are the main appeal of Marriage on the Rocks, a sitcom-style comedy about marital dissatisfaction and legal confusion. Sinatra's been married to Deborah Kerr for 19 years, but her boredom with his stick-in-the-mud personality has her leaping to shake things up--especially when a Mexican vacation accidentally divorces the two. How Dino gets himself wedged into this mess is the stuff of labored farce. The two Rat Pack buddies have done this so many times they barely rouse themselves to mix the highballs, with only the presence of Frank's daughter Nancy, in a supporting role, stirring the fatherly spark. Trini Lopez contributes a song, in the aforementioned nightclub, and Cesar Romero has a buffoonish role as a do-everything Mexican local official. The whole enterprise has the air of hedge-betting about it, and everybody looks as though they're fulfilling a contractual obligation. --Robert Horton
Marriage on the Rocks This is a good movie that has elements found in movies released during the 1965 period. The movie reminds one to re-consider their own views and ideas on marriage. Many movies produced before 1970 promote marriage rather than being a bachelor. I suppose many people consider marriage to be the norm in our society.
A Happy Film I have always enjoyed this collaboration among three actors who appear to be enjoying themselves. The film is somewhere between light comedy and screwball comedy. To some extent, Dean Martin's happy, flip character steals many of the scenes, but Frank Sinatra is more likable in this role than he is in many of his comedies (I think his forte is drama). Deborah Kerr is delightful. Some will say Dean and Frank are playing themselves...certainly true for Dean, here, although Frank doesn't often play the father role. But, in 1965 that's what audiences wanted -- Dean and Frank! You'll enjoy it!
Delight This is a great movie. If you love Frank Sinatra, you'll love this one. It is a light hearted comedy, with all the charm and pizazz that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin give the screen. You will smile all from beginning to end at all the confusion that erupts. It is must see for all the fans of 1950s and 1060s movies.
