It's a brilliantly accomplished work offering a mixture of bitter comedy and outright despair.

It's as close as you're likely to get to a perfect movie.

Not vintage Preston Sturges, but the finale is a scream.

The last of Sturges's Hollywood films, and one of his finest.

Unfaithfully Yours (1948) is a wonderful, brilliant and stylish comedy by Preston Sturges - it was the last of his Hollywood films.

Audience Reviews for Unfaithfully Yours

Another supposed all out comedy from legendary director Preston Sturges leads me to the same conclusion I reached with The Palm Beach Story: comedy wasn't all that evolved in the forties. Much like the romantic comedy filth of today, the forties and fifties were overcrowded by overtly painful films that were not only
