The Comedy of Marriage

Wal­ter Mathau in his long career of acting always see­med to say something in his movies that is funny and true in one breath.

In his movie “Pete ‘n Tillie” he is asked by his on-screen wife Carol Bur­nett “Honestly, I don’t know how we’ve sta­yed married for 11 years!”

His res­ponse is this one sta­te­ment “because frankly I’d rather not dis­cuss anything with you than with any other woman in the world.”
