    • Trivia
      The camera zooms to a big close-up of Sir Rex Harrison's left eye just before fading to each of Alfred De Carter's infidelity fantasies. Harrison happened to be blind in that eye, the result of childhood measles.
    • Goofs
      The "recording machine" Rex Harrison was trying to use in his fantasy was not a recording machine at all but a Garrard RC-100 flip-over 1938 record changer.
    • Quotes

      Alfred: Have you ever heard of Russian Roulette?

      Daphne De Carter: Why, certainly. I used to play it all the time with my father.

      Alfred: I doubt that you played Russian Roulette all the time with your father!

      Daphne De Carter: Oh, I most certainly did. You play it with two decks of cards, and...

      Alfred: That's Russian Bank. Russian Roulette's a very different amusement which I can only wish your father had played continuously before he had you!

    a very funny comedy, helped by a great performance
    Rex Harrison is a temperamental conductor and Linda Darnell his younger, adoring wife in "Unfaithfully Yours," also starring Lionel Stander, Rudy Vallee, and Kurt Krueger. Harrison and his wife are so much in love, it's sickening. But thanks to interference from his brother-in-law (a subdued Rudy Vallee), Harrison begins to believe that while he was out of town, his beautiful wife (Darnell) was consorting with his secretary, Tony, played by blond, handsome Kurt Krueger. As he conducts the orchestra in concert that evening, Harrison imagines several scenarios - one in which he kills his wife and cleverly frames Tony for the murder; one in which he pays her off; and one where he challenges Tony to a game of Russian roulette. Of course, when he actually tries to carry them out, things don't go as he imagined.

    This is a hilarious movie, with Harrison absolutely magnificent - and I might add, totally unlikable. One wonders if Darnell will stay with him once the bloom is off the rose. Lanky and sure of himself, though not particularly handsome, Harrison has a certain magnetism, not to mention a snappy way with a line. "Will I see you tonight at the concert?" Vallee asks him. "Yes!" Harrison yells. "I'm generally there on the nights when I conduct!" His last scene alone in the apartment is a scream, mainly because Harrison doesn't go for laughs but takes the whole thing very seriously and in character. Darnell is beautiful and appropriately cloying. Edgar Kennedy, as a classical music loving detective, has a wonderful scene with Harrison.

    I haven't seen the remake, but I noticed its voting average is lower than the original's. I can imagine Dudley Moore being quite funny, but this role, with its arch egotism, was tailor-made for Harrison.
