I Married a Woman is a 1958 American comedy film made in 1956,
starring George Gobel and Diana Dors.
The movie also features John Wayne in a cameo role as himself.
It was filmed in RKO-Scope and black and white except
for one of Wayne's two scenes, which was shot in Technicolor.
The film's original title was "So There You Are".

A strange film this one, and it's funny, because it's so bad.
I don't agree, with the quote below, as I don't think this film is funny
in a humorous way.
The humour is dated now, but what they found to laugh at then, I don't know.
It's a black and white film, starring George Gobel and Diana Dors.
Duke appeared, as himself in a scene, with Angie Dickinson,
as his hen pecking wife.

This scene and a brief montage, on a cinema screen at the end,
were screened in colour.

Anyway, I thought it was dreadful

User Review

Author: David (Handlinghandel) from NY, NY from IMDb

This is probably more fun now than it was when it came out.
It's a bit of black and white nostalgia now.*
Then, it was a showpiece for George Gobel, improbably married to sexbomb Diana Dors -- I guess that was the "joke."
Jessie Royce Landis is fun, as always, and the supporting cast supports very well.
It's by no means awful. It's kind of a man's fantasy about being a wimp who's adored by a gorgeous girl --*
not unlike the better and better known "Seven Year Itch."

OUCH! Is this the lowest rating you have "awarded" a Duke film so far?

It's not very available. Bygone Video offers what they deem to be a "fair" version of it, for $14.95 plus shipping.

Hi Chester,

To be fair, this isn't really a Duke film, as he was in a cameo role,
however, that segment, was pretty corny, and on it's own
it is only worth 3/10.

However, there were two more films, I rated as poor,

The Conqueror 1/10,

and here's one better Jim,

The Greatest Story Ever Told 0/10

now that's two more Ouch's

True, it isn't a Duke film, but for the fanatic who desires a copy of any film in which he appeared (for however short a time), it counts. Of course, it is nice if the film is one worth watching <_< .

Can't say much about this Cameo, other then it lends a bit of sureal to the film

[erscolo]

I've never found a decent copy of this film, and ended up settling for a used VHS copy of the film. If it were not for the scenes of John Wayne, I am pretty certain I would have never looked for the film nor have it in my collection.

Hi


I bought it on DVD a month ago from the John Wayne Film Society as part of a batch sale.
