Zip.ca - Unfaithfully Yours

This came to me as a recommendation and honestly I wasn't impressed. I didn't feel the music got near as much 'screen' time as it should have and I think the 'art' of the story line was lost. From what I understand the original is for more worth watching (1948, starring Rex Harrison) and I wish in some ways I had seen it first. Perhaps it will change my opinion of this one!

My Wife's Favourite Comedy! - Drudey

Yes, this is my wife's favourite movie comedy. It stands up better than the original it was re-made from. Dudley Moore is at his best (right up there with 10 and Arthur). Natassia Kinski has always been sexy - always. Together they show some great chemistry on screen.

This is a successful comedy project, all round. - Porkchop

UNFAITHFULLY YOURS (1984), is an obvious movie pick for fans of
Nastassja Kinski, at her peak at the time (aged 25), and those of
Dudley Moore. To enjoy this picture, it will also help viewers if
they are (even moderate) fans of classical music ( such as of
Stravinsky's Violin Concertos, for example), in addition to good,
clean, above-board humor, never going bottom feeding for laughs.

The plot has to do with what goes on in a man's mind, when he's
acheived everything, such as the ultimate in public recognition
(Carnegie Hall conductor), wealth, career, success, money, and a
beautiful wife.

The answer, of course, is the fear and deep concern of losing all,
or any of those, especially the woman, played here convincingly by
Kinski, the latter who really comes alive (unlike many of her other
movies), with a playful, expressive, affectionate, fresh,
extroverted, revealing, feminine, elegant presence.

Surrounding that paranoia of jealousy and infidelity, Moore succeeds
in his own classy manner, in generating a multitude of laughs over
the 90 mins, although the picture does seem to go offrack at the 75
minute mark and afterwards, a bit psychotic.

The soundtrack is done to a perfection, comprising hand-picked
numbers that only a veteran of the business could have selected. The
the filming is fine, with a pleasing true widescreen on DVD.

The 1980's style is visible, the actors male and femalse generously
growing their hair shoulder-length, yet, the movie has aged well in
almost all aspects.

There are a number of catchy, clever, funny phrases, double
entendres, gags that keep the humor going such as "Young men are
like fast food.. quick but not all that good!"

There's also a short nude shower scene, for those documenting. It is
in this movie, that Kinski sports a Halloween hog mask, and not in
Hotel New Hampshire.
