Not with My Wife, You Don't! (1967)

Norman Panama

As soon as he sees those curves, Korean War flight commander Tank Martin (George C. Scott) is figuring the angles. All he needs to do is get rid of his equally blonde-crazy Air Force buddy Tom Ferris (Tony Curtis) and a certain gorgeous nurse named Julie (Virna Lisi) will be all his. So whether he wants it or not, Tom is off to Japan for some "combat recuperation." And the two flyboys' long-running feud over the same woman will soar to untold heights. This romantic farce boasts gags galore (don't miss the Italian movie spoof), lots of wit (Tank calls his cocktail mixture "Instant Motel") and fabulous vistas (London, Paris, Rome). And though Tom outfoxes Tank and weds Julie, the competition is just starting. Because Julie likes the idea of having two of everything!

Red Skelton plays Aubrey Filmore, a feather-brained but lovable bellboy who dreams of becoming an agent for the Union's secret service during the Civil War. He gets his chance when he inadvertently causes the capture of a notorious Confederate spy known as "The Grey Spider" and adopts the spy's identity. The plot thickens when Aubrey meets the beautiful Confederate agent Sallyann Weatharby (Arlene Dahl) and falls in love with her. He is then forced to carry on the masquerade by posing as The Grey Spider and conveying false maps and instructions to deceive the Confederate forces when they plan their strategy at an upcoming battle.
Comic genius Buster Keaton was instrumental in creating numerous memorable gags in this endearing film and veteran director Edward Sedgwick came out of retirement to make the picture. For fans of classic comedy, A Southern Yankee is truly a piece of motion picture history.
