Just Like a Woman *** (1967, Wendy Craig, Francis Matthews, John Wood, Dennis Price, Miriam Karlin, Peter Jones, Clive Dunn) – Classic Movie Review 12,317

Just Like a Woman (1967, Dennis Price).

Wendy Craig and Francis Matthews play an unhappy lounge singer wife and her stressed TV director husband, who are fed up with each other, in the 1967 comedy film Just Like a Woman.

Director Robert Fuest’s 1967 British comedy film Just Like a Woman is an interesting and entertaining little mid-Sixties programme filler, in which Wendy Craig and Francis Matthews hungrily devour their rewarding roles as a couple breaking up.

Matthews plays Lewis McKenzie, a stressed TV director, and Craig is his unhappy lounge singer wife Scilla Alexander, who leaves to start afresh, which she does by having her house bizarrely designed by an ex-Nazi.

Debut writer-director Fuest grabs his chance to make his mark too in this upmarket sitcom with a touch of Sixties satire.

There’s a lovely quality cast of the day, and Private Eye cartoonist Barry Fantoni provides an authentic whiff of the time.

Also in the cast to reckon with are John Wood, Dennis Price, Miriam Karlin, Peter Jones, Clive Dunn, Ray Barrett, Sheila Steafel, Aubrey Woods, Barry Fantoni, Juliet Harmer, Mark Murphy, Michael Brennan, and Angela Browne.
