Short description

A four-time widow discusses her four marriages, in which all of her husbands became incredibly rich and died prematurely because of their drive to be rich.

What's left behind the scenes

Costume designer Edith Head spent half a million dollars so MacLaine could try on 70 costumes, while Perry Winston used a jewelry collection worth 4 million.
The film explains that the can-can is a lewd and indecent dance performed without underwear, and therefore is prohibited.
