People who cherish the post-Terms of Endearment, post-reincarnation phase of Shirley MacLaine's career might be surprised to discover just how sexy and kooky she was in a past life--that is, the first few years of her movie career. After the triumphs of Some Came Running and The Apartment, MacLaine had a run of starring roles, including this elaborate comedy vehicle. What a Way to Go! cast MacLaine as an unlucky bride whose husbands meet early deaths, leaving her wealthy but unhappy. Gimmick casting of the hubbies adds a bit of dash: Dick Van Dyke as a simple country storekeeper, Gene Kelly as a two-bit entertainer, bearded Paul Newman as a Brandoesque, bohemian painter in Paris. In the movie's best turn, Robert Mitchum gets to play a Howard Hughes character, and Dean Martin and Robert Cummings are around for the ride.
A flabbergasting parade of Edith Head outfits keeps MacLaine hopping, and each segment has a Hollywood fantasy based on MacLaine's vision of her passing marriages (silent comedy, sexed-up foreign flick, splashy musical). Typical of a certain kind of super-production of the era, the film is impressive rather than entertaining, busy rather than funny. Perhaps hiring J. Lee Thompson, who directed The Guns of Navarone, was not the best idea for this Comden-Green script. It snuck in as one of the top ten box-office grossers of 1964, and it has one great surrealist sequence where Gene Kelly orders his house and grounds to be painted entirely pink. --Robert Horton

This is a pretty silly film, but it has a huge cast of some of the greats in small but interesting little parts. It is mostly Shirley, but when you throw in Dean Martin, Dick Van Dyke, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman and Gene Kelly doing their marvelous piece of the story it makes for an enjoyable couple of hours.
Try it, you'll like it

What a Way to Go! This is an awesome movie that I have loved for years and even after all these years it's still Great!

A wonderful comedy with great actors like Paul Newman, Dean Martin, Gene Kelly, Robert Mitchum. Probably the best comedy ever made by Shirley Maclaine. It's a zany film that just zips along. Very, very funny!

With a slew of big names, a number of hilarious performances, endless glitz and glamour and a story that is funny and engaging, `What a Way to Go!' was a lot better than I personally expected. I love everyone in the cast, but the film and premise just had `throw away comedy' written all over it, and so I watched it mainly because of my personally obsessions with Shirley MacLaine and Paul `greatest actor ever' Newman.
I was pleasantly surprised.
The film is not a perfect ... Read More

I saw this movie on TV a long time ago and laughed my head off.
I bought the DVD and laughed my head off again. The picture on the DVD is first rate, and looks great on the HD TV..
If you love a good comedy with some musical overtones, you will love this movie.
Shirley MacLaine at her best.
