What a Way to Go!

(1964)Directed by J. Lee Thompson111 minComedy, Romance
“What A Cast!... What A Past!... What A Show!...”

Louisa May Foster (Shirley MacLaine) sits down to tell her four marriages from the beginning, and she tells them as a widow four times over. Each husband, among them Larry Flint (Paul Newman), Rod Anderson Jr. (Robert Mitchum) and Leonard Crawley (Dean Martin), became enormously rich and died before his time. J. Lee Thompson keeps the story on Louisa and the men who loved her, each one chasing money harder than he ever held her.
