Movie: How To Murder Your Wife (1965)
Director: Richard Quine
My Rating: 7/10 Stars *******

Another funny Jack Lemmon 60's era romantic comedy, and don't be fooled by the title, its really not as bad as it sounds. Lemmon is a successful bachelor and comic-strip writer in NYC, but he wakes up one morning to find he married a Italian beauty whilst drunk at a bachelor party, and I won't ruin the rest, watch it.

Now They Call Them Oldies: 'A Well Respected Man' by The Kinks (1965)

The result of this week's oldies-shuffle goes to The Kinks and their 1965 song A Well Respected Man. The Kinks were an English-rock/British Invasion band from North-London who got their start back in 1964 and split up in 1996. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) were brothers and were the main two members of the group who formed it and stayed in it during it's 32 year life-span. A Well Respected Man was released on their 1965 EP titled Kwyet Kinks and would become one of their most well-known songs and peak at #13 on the US charts upon its release. Stay tuned for more...
