The star-studded cast of this black comedy includes Shirley, Paul Newman, Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Gene Kelly, Margaret Dumont and Dick Van Dyke. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a four-time widow who married poor men she loved, only to end up a rich (and unhappy) widow. Why does this keep happening? Is she cursed? Will she ever find true happiness? A visit to the psychiatrist reveals the whole story.
