About this product

Product Information

A classic of 60's film decadence, WHAT A WAY TO GO stars Shirley MacLaine as Louisa, a widow four times over who is left with more money than she knows what to do with. When she signs an unsolicited, multimillion-dollar check over to the IRS, however, officials in high places begin to doubt her sanity, and send her to a psychiatrist. As her story unfolds in the doctor's office, her motivations become clear. A young Louisa, encouraged to marry for money, instead chose to marry for love. Sadly, after her new husband had a small taste of success, he pursued it endlessly, and ultimately greed lead him to an early demise. His three successors follow suit. In an attempt to avoid the same fate, Louisa now desires to rid herself of her wealth and return to her original simplicity. With an all-star cast including Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, Dick Van Dyke, Gene Kelly, Robert Cummings, and Margaret Dumont, this over-the-top comedy is a study in excessive mise en scene, and MacLaine is resplendent in Edith Head costumes and brilliant Technicolor.

Great Starlet and Sets
In 1964 the cute Shirley Maclaine was a trained Actor, Singer and Ballet performer and talented enough to join each of her co-stars in the production numbers, including the demanding Gene Kelly. . Edith Head did a great job costuming Shirley!! Frank Sinatra Productions eventually added Shirley to his "stable" of first rate performers. .

The Curse of Shirley MacLaine Makes For Great Comedy
What a Way to Go! (1964) displays the deft and entertaining comedy for which its writers, Comden and Green, were known. The performances by the all-star cast are hilarious. The story traces the lives, successes, and deaths of Louisa May Foster's (Shirley MacLaine) husbands. After the IRS refuses to allow her to give the government all the money her husbands left her, Louisa visits a psychiatrist and tells him her life story via flashbacks. Wanting only a simple life and the love of her spouse, Louisa spurns the town magnate and playboy Leonard 'Lennie' Crawley (Dean Martin) in favor of Edgar Hopper (Dick Van Dyke), who owns a small shack of a general store which opens whenever he is in the mood to open it. However, Louisa is a curse on each of her husbands. After ... What a Way to Go! (1964) displays the deft and entertaining comedy for which its writers, Comden and Green, were known. The performances by the all-star cast are hilarious. The story traces the lives, successes, and deaths of Louisa May Foster's (Shirley MacLaine) husbands. After the IRS refuses to allow her to give the government all the money her husbands left her, Louisa visits a psychiatrist and tells him her life story via flashbacks. Wanting only a simple life and the love of her spouse, Louisa spurns the town magnate and playboy Leonard 'Lennie' Crawley (Dean Martin) in favor of Edgar Hopper (Dick Van Dyke), who owns a small shack of a general store which opens whenever he is in the mood to open it. However, Louisa is a curse on each of her husbands. After marrying Edgar, he decides he ought to do more to support her, so he launches a "Hop Hop Hop to Hopper's" campaign that overwhelms the Crawleys' store and makes Hopper's a national chain. They're rich, but Edgar spends all his time with the business and never sees his wife anymore. Then, one day he is comically killed by working himself to death. In Paris, Louisa marries Larry Flint (Paul Newman), an American cabbie who loves to paint. Larry builds machines which translate sound into paintings. When Louisa shows him the machines can paint music, Larry uses the idea to become a renowned and wealthy artist. Obsessed with his bizarre art, Larry spends all his time with the machines, leaving Louisa lonesome. Then, Larry's machines go out of control and kill him. Next Louisa meets millionaire Rod Anderson, Jr. (Robert Mitchum), who is already so rich that Louisa feels she can't possibly curse him. She's wrong, though, and Rod's fortune triples. Desperate to avoid catastrophe again, Louisa convinces Rod to move to a farm, fulfilling his life-long dream. Then, Rod tries to milk a cow, but he's not on top of things and recognizes only too late that he's grabbing the bull, which kicks him through the air and to his grave. Louisa's tears are dried by singer and dancer Pinky Benson (Gene Kelly), who has been performing a clown act to no applause in an insignificant night club for years and years. They fall in love and are about to live happily ever after when Louisa suggests Pinky perform without his clown makeup to get through his act faster so they can go celebrate their nuptials. Without the goofy getup, people begin to take notice of the handsome Pinky, and his fame rockets him to Hollywood, where becomes is a huge movie star. Living in a hilarious all-pink mansion, Louisa is again left to regret her curse on men. Success has taken Pinky away from her. After the premiere of his outrageously long movie, Pinky insists on visiting his fans before leaving. However, Pinky, pink cape and all, is trampled to death by the loving fans. Having finished her comically sad story, Louisa runs into the building's janitor, who happens to be the riches-to-rags Lennie Crawley. He and Louisa get married and live the life of poor farmers. But success may lurk just under the soil, as Lennie strikes oil.... A very funny, swift comedy with an excellent cast, What a Way to Go! will keep you entertained from the first husband to the last.

Very Good
Shirley Maclaine looks great; It was a good starring role for her . Dick Van Dyke is good but looks a little out of place in this film with all these stars. I liked the film and the price was very good.

Watched for the award winning costume designs
The shopping experience was perfect. The movie is eh. The costume design was incredible once the movie got going. Skipped most of the story. What passed for acting back then is unbearable for me to watch, today.
