"Kiss Me, Stupid" is a 1964 American comedy film directed by Billy Wilder and starring Dean Martin and Kim Novak. Martin plays a nightmare version of himself called "Dino", Novak portrays a prostitute from the local brothel ("The Belly Button"), and Ray Walston took over a role originally intended for Peter Sellers as an "over jealous" husband after Sellers suffered a heart attack.

Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics for the intentionally bad songs composed by Walston's hapless character. The wedded couple characters played by Walston and Felicia Farr end up having sex with other people (Kim Novak and Dean Martin respectively), manage to shrug it off, and get back together. Such adulterous behavior on film upset Roman Catholic Church officials; the Vatican's Legion of Decency banned the film at the time it was released. The film's opening scenes were shot during a live Martin performance at the late Sands Casino in Las Vegas. Also, the customized Italian Ghia sports car driven by Martin in the film was the performer's own automobile. The film is occasionally shown on Turner Classic Movies.
