Interesting things about comedies with social themes are that they tend to date themselves. On the surface, this clever written film about male fantasies about cheating on their wives is still relevant today in many respects. The only thing that perhaps dates the film is that all the husbands appear to be "executive" hard-working types while their wives seem to stay home and raise the family. Women didn't work in the sixties I suppose. Men and women will probably still conspire about adultery so the theme of the film won't go out of style. If the film had been made today - there would be alot more sex shown of course. What makes the film fun to watch are the episodes of wife cheaters supplied by famous celebrity cameos of the period. Obviously, the producers tried to copy "Mad, Mad World" but fell short.
