Lee Thompson and starring Shirley MacLaine as Louisa May Foster, an unwilling Black Widow who falls in love with, marries and loses four husbands through the course of the movie, amassing an unwanted and ever-expanding fortune in the process.As Louisa relates her life-history to a psychiatrist, each of her marriages is depicted as a parody of a different film genre: with Dick Van Dyke as a silent movie, Paul Newman as a pretentious French film, Robert Mitchum as a Hollywood romantic blockbuster and Gene Kelly as a musical. And then there's Dean Martin's Leonard Crawley... | |

Actor Allusion | |
| What a Way to Go! / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: There is a reference to Shirley MacLaine's Irma la Douce in the scene where Louisa arrives in Paris. On the bus, she passes "Maxim's", which is featured prominently in the beginning montage of that film. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| What a Way to Go! / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Leonard, who is such a failure at life that even Louisa's husband-killing "curse" can't affect him. | |

Costume Porn: Louisa runs the gamut during the movie, wearing everything from furs to near-rags. Explicitly parodied during the Mitchum sequence. | |

Covered in Gunge: At the very end of the movie, Louisa and Leonard end up covered in crude oil, after he accidentally severs an oil company's pipeline with his attempt at farming. | |

Cartwright Curse | |
| What a Way to Go! / int_edc22fe8 | comment |
Cartwright Curse: Gender-flipped and played for Black Comedy with Louisa's curse that has taken multiple husbands already. It takes, ironically enough, The Jinx to end it. | |
