Marriage on the Rocks (1965)

In the heartwarming yet tumultuous comedy-drama, "Marriage on the Rocks," we follow the trials of Dan Edwards, the charismatic president of an advertising company, and his vibrant wife, Valerie Edwards, as they navigate their nineteenth year of marriage. Despite their deep love for each other, the pair grapple with the growing chasm in their relationship, reflecting their drastically different views on matrimony. Dan finds comfort in the predictable monotony of their life, his evenings spent blissfully in front of the television, while Valerie yearns for the excitement they once shared. Ernie Brewer, a charming executive at Dan's company and his closest friend, adds an element of complexity to their relationship. A bachelor and notorious womanizer, Ernie was once a contender for Valerie's affection. On their anniversary, Valerie's sarcastic declaration of regret in choosing Dan over the more exciting Ernie sparks a ripple of tension, threatening the stability of their marriage. In an attempt to salvage their love, Dan, prompted by Ernie, whisks Valerie away on a second honeymoon to a quaint Mexican resort town. However, a comedy of errors, largely influenced by the town's business magnate Miguel Santos, leads to a whirlwind of confusion and mistaken identities. Dan and Valerie's relationship is turned upside down as they, along with Ernie, find themselves tangled in an unexpected love triangle. The couple's domestic chaos seeps into the lives of their family. Their daughter, Tracy Edwards, portrayed by the promising starlet Nancy Sinatra, struggles with her impulsive desire for independence, clashing with Dan's protective instincts. Val's traditionally Scottish mother, Jeannie MacPherson, harbors resentment towards Dan, while their young son, David Edwards, learns to exploit the turmoil for personal gain.
