merklekranz Review of The Boss' Wife

The Boss' Wife (1986)

Rare chance to see Arielle Dombasle in English speaking role .....

[5/10 · 1 February 2011]

Arielle Dombasle's nude scenes are definitely the highlight of this lightweight comedy. Christoper Plummer plays the naive boss, while his wife, Dombasle, makes a hobby out of seducing her husband's employees. The cast is fine, Daniel Stern is a married man with fertility problems, Martin Mull is memorable in his role of "professional ass kisser", and Lou Jacobi is also nice to see. It is the simplistic script that is lacking. One memorable scene is Plummer having his lunch and condiments delivered by one of his model trains. but overall things drag. Somehow this comedy combining abstinence and infidelity should have worked better than it does. ... - MERK
