Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Ed demonstrates to his pupil the need to have a strong cologne to hide the scent of a girlfriend's perfume, by telling Paul a story about a man and his sports coat. While riding home to his wife in a cab, the man notices the smell of his lady friend's perfume on his jacket. He airs it out by holding the jacket out the window of the moving taxi. Unfortunately, it blows away, and he has to retrieve it from the street. What actor plays the man with the sweet smelling jacket?

Answer: Hal March

The man and his sports coat get home fine, and everything goes well until his wife notices tire tracks across the back of the jacket.
2. Paul's lesson on how to get out of the house by starting an argument, involves a scene with 'Joe X', a construction worker and his wife. Lucille Ball plays 'Mrs. Joe X'. What actor plays her wandering husband?

Answer: Art Carney

Joe provokes a fight by complaining about his wife's cooking. When Paul tries it on his own wife, it turns out that she has made a gourmet meal. When he persists, her tears immediately turn him into Jello, and he begs her forgiveness.
3. In a segment to teach Paul to always deny things, actress Ann Morgan Guilbert portrays a woman who comes home to find her husband Charlie in bed with another woman. Who plays the unfaithful Charlie?

Answer: Joey Bishop

Starting out with "What woman?", and continuing to answer his irate wife's questions with questions of "when, who, where and how?", Charlie successfully has his wife doubting her own eyes.
4. Paul tells Ed that he is planning to take a woman to his own house while his wife is out of town. Ed illustrates that this is a bad idea by relating the experience a friend named Harold had with a girlfriend and her lost brassiere. Who playes the paramour whose bra cannot be found after a romantic interlude at 'Tiger's' house?

Answer: Jayne Mansfield

The bra is never found, and Ed later introduces Paul to a white-haired and shriveled up Harold at a men's club steam room. Ed asks Paul to guess the man's age, and Paul estimates somewhere in his seventies. Ed states that he is only thirty- nine and that the incident only happened three weeks earlier, but Harold knows that it is only a matter of time until his wife finds the incriminating evidence.
5. A story about 'Sweetlips Ollie' is used to show how one can get rid of a girlfriend by acting poor and broke. Who plays Ollie?

Answer: Jack Benny

Ollie already has a new girlfriend waiting in the car, while he explains to Bubbles that after meeting with his accountant, she will have to give up her nice apartment, furs and jewelry. Convinced by his 'poor-mouthing', Bubbles suggests that they not see each other until Ollie gets back on his feet.
6. What actor shows how to react in the event that you see someone you know in a restaurant, while dining with a paramour?

Answer: Sid Caesar

Caesar plays the Romanoff's restaurant diner, who calmly pulls up a chair at the table of a stranger and begins eating his salad. He then waves his friend over to the table and introduces him as if he was dining with another long-time friend.
7. Ed tells Paul that he owes it to his wife to cheat, and relates a story about a man who mentally snaps after fourteen years of faithful marriage. What does the man do when he snaps?

Answer: Starts kissing other women

Wally Cox portrays the hen-pecked husband, who while sitting in a restaurant with his wife, starts kissing a beautiful woman at his table and then other women in the restaurant.
8. Ed advises Paul that the two worst people to be caught by in a compromising situation, are your wife's best friend and your worst enemy. To demonstrate, we see actor Louie Nye playing Irving, a house buyer, happening upon his realtor who has recently cheated him. The crooked realtor is checking into a motel with a woman - not his wife. Who portrays the unfaithful realtor?

Answer: Phil Silvers

Thinking quickly, the slick businessman has no problem convincing Irving that he is assisting a lady client in catching her husband together with a lover in a motel room. The realtor is even able to have his former customer actually break into the room of an unsuspecting couple.
9. To emphasize that one can never be too careful, Ed relates the story of a big Hollywood movie star, Rance "G" who wants to have an affair with a beautiful starlet. What actor plays Rance?

Answer: Carl Reiner

Despite criss-crossing the globe in several disguises and by various methods including camel and bobsled, Rance finally meets the beautiful blonde in an alpine chalet. Almost immediately the door is opened and the actor's wife is there with a photographer.
10. After all of his lessons, and taking all of the necessary precautions, Paul takes a beautiful and very willing woman to a motel. What happens?

Answer: He runs home to his wife

As Paul shows pictures of his wife and daughter to his female companion, a disturbance arises outside of the motel room. Paul looks out of the window shade and sees a photographer taking pictures of Ed and another woman in bed. Paul dumps his friend in a parking lot and races home.

The comic irony in the Gene Kelly directed film is that Paul's wife is played by the sweet, kind, nice and incredibly gorgeous actress Inger Stevens.
