The only reason We're Not Married! gets attention is Marilyn Monroe, and it's another anthology film
just like O. Henry's Full House.
Marriage #1: Fred Allen married to Ginger Rogers? Too old! He's 57 while she's 40. If they hate each
other, then why live together, even in separate beds? It doesn't make sense. And do I have to listen to
the rubbish ads?
Marriage #2: Yeah, sure...the average-looking David Wayne is married to Marilyn Monroe. Anyway, give
her another year, and she'll win Miss Universe and whatever else.
Marriage #3: This is only segment with an age-appropriate couple. Then again, why is Eve Arden's
character perfectly content with her husband after he cheated on her with many others? Oddly, Paul Douglas
gets to kiss eight beautiful women in his dream, and they all are way out of his league.
Marriage #4: This is the story of Zsa Zsa Gabor's life. She eventually became a joke, having been married
nine times, and one of them cheated on her with Anna Nicole Smith. This time, I can believe Louis Calhern's
marriage to Zsa Zsa Gabor, no matter how far apart their ages are, because she only cares about money
and once said, "I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house."
Marriage #5: A boring, bland guy is married to Mitzi Gaynor? Please! A big surprise here is the
uncredited appearance of Lee Marvin.
All in all, We're Not Married! is silly and a waste of time.
