What a Way to Go! (1964)

 What A Cast!... What A Past!... What A Show!...

Plot: A four-time widow discusses her four marriages, in which all of her husbands became incredibly rich and died prematurely because of their drive to be rich. 

 What a Way to Go! is a zanny 1964 comedy, ahead of its time. A combo of genres, parodies, witty script and great cast, plus Edith Head's costumes and gowns. 

You can say it was a leftie film, the idea of money can't bring you happiness, really ? ;).

Shirley Maclaine was hot after Billy Wilder's Irma la Douce (1963) but this was originally Marilyn Monroe's film. After Monroe died Elisabeth Taylor was supposed to be in th lead. That's why you have all kind of Cleopatra puns. 

Oscar nominations for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration (color) and Best costume design.
