All in a Night's Work (1961)
Member Rating:  
Tony Ryder (Dean Martin) thinks that Katie Robbins (Shirley MacLaine) was the mistress of a recently deceased millionaire. On this fragile plot peg hangs the rest of All in a Night's Work. The millionaire died with a smile on his face, and Tony, who stands to inherit the dead man's publishing business, suspects that Katie, who has been left a fortune, administered the "favors" that pushed the old coot into the great beyond. Katie, wholly innocent, resents Tony's implications and gives him the brush-off. All turns out for the good when Tony realizes that he loves Katie for herself and not for her legacy. It took three writers (five, if you count the authors of the play upon which this film is based) to cook up the tickle-and-tease souffle that we've come to know as All in a Night's Work. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I had a crush on the late Dean Martin since I was five years old! Shirley Maclaine is a wonderful actress. Good story, characters and a romantic comedy. They don't make them great like this anymore! If you like this one, you will like "What A Way To Go! with Dean Martin, Shirley Maclaine and all star cast!

This movie is a great one...entertaining and funny. We're not talking Academy Awards here, just a darned good way to spend an evening.

Dean Martin gives his usual solid performance as a ex-playboy who has to grow up and takeover the helm of his recently deceased uncle's company. He has the right mix of charm, style and sincerity in his performance. Shirley Maclaine, however, truly shines here as the naive but good-natured girl who unknowingly becomes involved in a rumored blackmail attempt. It's just great to see Maclaine in her prime. After seeing her in the wonderful Billy Wilder film, The Apartment, I had to see her other films. I still give the edge to The Apartment (nominated for Oscar awards), but it was really great to see MacLaine in color and in a more comedic role.

I loved seeing Shirley MacLaine in her beautifull prime. We all know how gorgeous is Dean Martin, but it is a real treat to see the beautifully young Shirley MacLaine and her funny acting. I really enjoyed the movie.
