What a Way to Go!

In a darkly comedic tale that defies traditional notions of love and fate, Shirley MacLaine plays Louisa May Foster Hopper Flint Anderson Benson, a four-time widow whose husbands have all met untimely deaths after achieving wealth and success. Each chapter in her life story is a twisted fairy tale of romantic conquests and tragic mishaps, as she tries to outsmart the curse that seems to haunt her. With a star-studded cast including Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, and Gene Kelly, this 1964 black comedy film offers a wickedly witty exploration of the human condition.
