Richard Quine's 1965 How to Murder Your Wife would most likely not be considered in perfect sync with today's mentality toward women. It wasn't in 1965.
If one were to take the concept and screenplay seriously, one would presume that women having the vote, education and equality might be somehow incorrect. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, the concept still rules supreme.
Once you get past the concept, the film can work as a pleasant comedy, much in the way that many of Mr. Quine's other almost featherweight films work.
As a Blu-ray Olives's release of the UA film via MGM looks quite nice. I noted no problems. The image harvest appears to be moderately current, color is good, there's a decent layer of grain. It's a nice transfer, and a very nice resultant Blu-ray.
HtMYW is a film that can be fun, but may still raise a few hackles with the wrong audience.
