Unfaithfully Yours (1948)Directed by Preston Sturges, not rated, 105 minutes
Unfaithfully Yours is a zany and surprising black comedy about a successful conductor who suspects his wife of cheating on him, and fantasizes during a concert about what to do with his wife. Rex Harrison is captivating in the lead, capturing all the insanity and frustration of his character. Preston Sturges's dialogue is always fun and clever, but the writing is all around exciting and laugh out loud funny. Unfaithfully Yours was ahead of its times with its non-linear storyline and pitch black comedy, but still has that classic 
screwball feel with snappy dialogue and slapstick comedy. You'll like it if: You like black comedies, screwball comedies, Preston Sturges's films, The Palm Beach Story, Arsenic and Old Lace or Raising Arizona.
