For some inexplicable reason, Walter Matthau wants to have an affair despite being married to Inger Stevens, who's gorgeous. Serial adulterer More shows him how, using many amusing vignettes to illustrate (his wife Claire Kelly's also lovely, just to rub the joke in). Sue Ane Langdon is Matthau's target. Very 1967 in treatment (zoom, wipes - 'barn door' wipes, to be precise - music, conversations taking place over multiple locales).
Written by Frank Tarloff. Catchy title song from The Turtles, music by John Williams, shot by Joe MacDonald, edited by Dorothy Spencer.
Guest starring Lucille Ball, Phil Silvers, Jayne Mansfield, Terry-Thomas, Carl Reiner, Art Carney, Sam Jaffe.
Funniest moment is still the guy caught by his wife in bed with girl, who just denies everything... I think that's a dangling modifier. Hey! Sorkin! I done one!*
Maybe a neat end would have been if we somehow understood that Matthau's wife was having an affair.

* No it isn't, it's a dangling noun, or something. Sgd. A. Sorkin.
