Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSomeone in Mexico took exception to the idea of their country being a place for quickie divorces or marriages, and convinced the government to block Frank Sinatra (for a time) from entering Mexico, even though he owned property there.
- GoofsThe two wall calendars in Miguel's office are for December 1964 and April 1965. The calendar in his hotel lobby is for June 1965. A few weeks (at most) after the Mexico trip, it's suddenly Thanksgiving.

Featured review
Going through the motions.
In recent months, I've watched quite a few films by the so-called Rat Pack. Some, such as "Oceans Eleven", were very good. However, quite a few really look like the actors were just going through the motions with substandard scripts--and "Marriage on the Rocks" is clearly one of these.
The film is supposed to be a kooky comedy about marriage and divorce. However, comedies, unless I'm mistaken, are supposed to be funny! This one lacks humor and more importantly any charm. The characters are all unlikable and very one-dimensional. Dean Martin plays an executive who NEVER works and chases women. Frank Sinatra plays an executive who ONLY works and is humorless and annoying. And, Deborah Kerr hates his wife who hates her marriage but NEVER tells her husband. As for the kids, they're all self-absorbed jerks.
As for the plot, it's bad but is made worse because you hate the characters. While in Mexico, Frank and Deborah ACCIDENTALLY GET DIVORCED and SHE ACCIDENTALLY MARRIES Dean!! This is pretty far-fetched and contrived. Overall, it's a tiresome film that might have worked had it been better written and had the stars (who had HUGE clout in Hollywood at the time) insisted they be given a competent plot. Tiresome.
