Unfaithfully Yours is a 1948 comedy starring Rex Harrison as a celebrated symphony conductor who believes his wife played by Linda Darnell is having an affair with his handsome young Secretary. During the evenings concert he carefully devises three plans to deal with the supposed betrayal. He returns to the apartment after the concert and proceeds with Plan A, but after serious ineptitude including destroying the apartment moves to Plan B. This again fails due to ineptness as does Plan C. This leaves him with no alternative than to investigate and come to his own conclusions based upon the evidence.

This comedy is much underrated and is equal to more celebrated black comedies made in the same period such as Kind Hearts and Coronets and Whiskey Galore. It has an excellent script with many razor sharp lines delivered at pace by all actors. However, the operatic music is the films strength and gives purpose to the plot. It should never be underestimated how music can influence a situation and during the concert the Conductors plans are subconsciously influenced by fast music for murder, slow soothing music for forgiveness and disorderly music for an unbalanced solution.
