What a Way to Go! Ratings & Reviews
- ncte0October 27, 2025What a Way to Go! (1964) is a dark romantic comedy starring Shirley MacLaine, supported by an all-star cast including Paul Newman, Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, and Robert Mitchum. The film follows Louisa May Foster, a woman who sincerely wants a simple life but keeps marrying men who become wildly successful—and die soon after. It’s a satirical look at wealth, love, and the absurdity of the American dream, wrapped in extravagant 1960s Technicolor style. The tone shifts between slapstick and social critique, with lavish costumes and surreal visual gags. While the humor can feel dated, MacLaine’s charm and the film’s playful excess make it a curious, stylish time capsule of mid-century Hollywood glamour and cynicism.
