Product Description:
Throughout his long career, with a cocktail in one hand and a cigarette in the other, Dean Martin was the iconic epitome of the carefree, smooth operator. The Dean Martin Double Feature includes Who Was That Lady?, co-starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh and How to Save a Marriage (and Ruin Your Life), co-starring Stella Stevens. Dino uses his inimitable style to demonstrate what made the ‘60s swing with these wacky comedies of marital mix-ups.
In Who Was That Lady?, Martin stars opposite real-life husband and wife Tony Curtis (Some Like it Hot, Don’t Make Waves) and Janet Leigh (Touch of Evil, Psycho). Curtis enlists the help of his friend Martin when his wife (Leigh) demands a divorce after catching him kissing one of his students. The guys cook up a cover story that Curtis is working undercover for the FBI, and that the kiss was part of a sting to catch a spy. The gullible Leigh buys the wild fabrication and later, unwittingly touches off a melee that is filmed by TV news crews. Some real Russian spies assume Curtis really is an FBI agent, and kidnap the trio, which kick starts a series of madcap plot twists. Directed by George Sidney, the film also stars Barbara Nichols, Larry Storch and Joi Lansing.
Martin also headlines the bedroom farce How to Save a Marriage (and Ruin Your Life). Single, swinging lawyer David Sloane (Martin) tries to circumvent his friend Harry’s extramarital affair by romancing his secretary, Carol. However, David has seduced the wrong woman; Harry has actually been fooling around with Muriel. When David tells Harry that he's stolen his mistress, Harry isn't sure what's going on, but the message has the intended effect, and Harry patches things up with his wife Mary. But when Carol and Muriel compare notes, they decide that something is fishy, and the two draw up a series of demands — Muriel insists that Harry leave Mary and marry her, while Carol wants David to make it legal with her. Directed by Fielder Cook, the film also stars Jack Albertson and Shelley Morrison (TV’s Will & Grace).

Rating:  - A good Martin comedy paired with a bad one
Dean Martin made quite a few comedies away from the Rat Pack in the 1960s. Most of them were pretty interesting and even the bad ones are worth seeing. This DVD double feature includes one that worked well for me and had me laughing out loud more than a few times and one that didn't work as well and only had me laughing in its last 15 minutes (out of a 115-minute movie).
The good one, HOW TO SAVE A MARRIAGE AND RUIN YOUR LIFE (1968), introduces the necessary characters and relationships ... Read More
Rating:  - Old time comedy
This movie is probably the best spy spoof ever made. Tony Curtis falls under the craziness of Dean Martin to concoct a lie to protect Tony's marriage. It's light, funny and a must for every DVD library.
Rating: - WHO WAS THAT LADY IS SPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!
NORMAN KRASNA, WRITER AND PRODUCER, CREATED A TRUE FILM CLASSIC IN THIS ONE!!! HE PUT TOGETHER DEAN MARTIN, TONY CURTIS, JANET LEIGH, JOY LANSING +++ AND CREATED ANOTHER ONE OF HIS FABULOUS COMEDIC MASTERPIECES.
Rating:  - Entertaining films
I am a fan of Dean Martin and had never seen these movies. I enjoyed both of them very much, especially "Who Was That Lady" with Tony Curtis. If you're a fan Dean you need these movies.
Rating: - who was that lady
NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD. BEST COMEDY IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. FOR AN OLD MOVIE IT REALLY SHOULD BE MADE AGAIN. DEAN MARTIN AND TONY CURTIS HAD GREAT CHEMISTRY. AS PHONY FBI AGENTS THEY STOLE THE SHOW. I LOVED WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SINKING IN A RUSSIAN SUB AND STARTED SINGING GOD BLESS AMERICA ARM AND ARM AS THE WATER STARTED TO HIT THEIR LOWER LIP.DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. SOME HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER SHOULD PICK UP ON THIS ONE AND PUT THE WEDDING CRASHER STARS TOGETHER AGAIN IN THIS ONE.
