Marriage on the Rocks (1965) – Nostalgia Central

After 18 years of marriage, Valerie Edwards (Deborah Kerr) is bored with her stunning advertising husband, Dan (Frank Sinatra(and keeps telling him that she should marry his co-worker, Ernie Brewer)Dean Martin In the distinctive lady killing mode).

While experiencing their second honeymoon in Puerto Villa, Mexico, Dan and Valerie get a hasty divorce courtesy of Miguel Santos (César Romero), a likable Mexican who specializes in “quick” divorces, marriages and funerals.

Before they can get married, Dan is called into work, and Valerie plans a lavish second wedding. By chance, she and Ernie are married by a Spanish-speaking officiant, and Valerie decides to hold on to her new husband until Dan realizes what he’s missing.

However, Dan loves life as a bachelor, while Ernie hates being a husband.

Adding to the fun in this light-hearted rom-com is Hermione Baddeley as Valery’s Scottish flute player mother, and Sinatra’s real-life daughter, Nancyas his on-screen daughter, Tracy, who wants to leave home to move on with a go-go dancer (Davey Davison), and Tony Bell (who was Sinatra’s discovery) as Tracy’s friend.

Neither Frank nor Dino sings a note, but Trini Lopez runs out Sinful man.
