Merciless comedy turns marriage into an instrument of torture
8 / 10
There's an uncomfortable edge under all this silliness, a barely suppressed threat of domestic violence that was no doubt funnier to 1960s audiences (who might have laughed less uncomfortably at the moment when an abused wife is offered a bloody mary to drink). These characters aren't afraid of social agonies they're in danger of actual physical harm, as the rage that's been heating up in these stuffy homes starts to burn, angrier than a chip-pan fire.
