What critics compared Unfaithfully Yours to
The immortal writer/director Preston Sturges, responsible for such trenchantly hilarious comedic romances as The Lady Eve, The Palm Beach Story, and Unfaithfully Yours, held that sex was "Topic A." The movie output most closely associated with producer Judd Apatow The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad suggests that Apatow concurs.
Preston Sturges isn't listed, but he should have been, for this is Rainer Werner Fassbinder's funniest picture, and closer than you would expect to Unfaithfully Yours.
