What a Way to Go!

The story follows Louisa, a woman with a life full of unexpected and frantic twists. From her dreamy childhood to her adult life, Louisa seems doomed to a series of marriages with wealthy men who meet spectacular ends, leading people to believe that her fortune is some sort of curse. As the plot unfolds, the viewer is taken through ingeniously humorous flashbacks that detail the extravagant lives of her husbands.

Each of her husbands adds their own comedic twist to the narrative: an oil magnate obsessed with business who meets his demise in an explosion, a film producer whose life crumbles after a disastrous premiere, and an eccentric artist who leaves this world in the midst of a fit of jealousy. Louisa, despite her unusually unfortunate fate, remains energetic and optimistic, navigating between love and laughter while dealing with the mania of those around her.

The film combines elements of black comedy and social satire, exploring the ideas of wealth, love, and the pursuit of happiness, even in the most unusual circumstances. With a brilliant cast that includes Shirley MacLaine in the lead role, the film captures the essence of a golden age of cinema while telling a humorous story about love and tragedy that intrigues the audience from start to finish.
