    • Trivia
      Someone in Mexico took exception to the idea of their country being a place for quickie divorces or marriages, and convinced the government to block Frank Sinatra (for a time) from entering Mexico, even though he owned property there.
    • Goofs
      The two wall calendars in Miguel's office are for December 1964 and April 1965. The calendar in his hotel lobby is for June 1965. A few weeks (at most) after the Mexico trip, it's suddenly Thanksgiving.

      Dan Edwards: One of these days all these girls are going to show up at the same time and you are going to get shot.

      Ernie Brewer: Oh but what a cuckoo firing squad.

    A flat, dull attempt at humor
    Watching "Marriage on the Rocks," it's hard to image that it was made by a studio that turned out so many great movies in the 35 years prior to this one. But then, Warner Brothers wasn't alone in making such dull and boring fluff in the 1960s and beyond.

    The only reason I give this film four stars is because of two performers – Deborah Kerr and Cesar Romero. They give it their best with the material they have. Kerr plays Val Edwards. Why in the world such a talented actress would agree to make this movie is beyond me, but she does try to put some life into her character and make her somewhat interesting. Cesar Romero plays Miguel Santos. I don't know if the script called for the level of excitement and energy his character provides – but I suspect he pushed it some in an effort to elevate the film.

    Other reviews have noted that Frank Sinatra as Dan Edwards and Dean Martin as Ernie Brewer are pretty much playing their everyday roles in life. At least the roles that were for their public image. Martin was not a late night carouser with the pack, but went home to be with his family. Neither actor does anything to lift this film beyond boredom. Sinatra just isn't believable as an ad agency magnate. And, Martin's playboy role is way over the top so that any humor it might have otherwise is lost in tedium.

    The screenplay is blasé for this film. There can't be even half a dozen clever or witty lines. The film just sinks without any real humor. We know that all the leads could act in dramatic roles, and the males could croon some lovely tunes. As one other reviewer noted, had they put some songs in here, the studio would have boosted the film and made it at least entertaining.
