Drop Dead Darling

Drop Dead Darling (US title: Arrivederci, Baby!) is a 1966 British-American black comedy film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Tony Curtis, Rosanna Schiaffino, Lionel Jeffries and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

A man goes around marrying wealthy women, and then murdering them. However, his third wife has married him with similar intentions.

In May 1962 Joshua Logan announced he would make a film about a wife killer called The Careful Man based on an Edmund Morris from an original story by Max Franklin. The film would be done with Seven Arts Pictures and Logan would produce and direct. It was described as a suspense melodrama.

In July 1962 Seven Arts announced The Careful Man would be one of 20 films it would make with MGM.

Filming started in August 1965 under the title You Just Kill Me with Ken Hughes as a director and Tony Curtis as star. Curtis said he took the job "because of the excellent script by Ken Hughes."

Other working titles were You're Dead Right and My Last Duchess.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's casting was announced in October.

Filming took place in London at Shepperton Studios and in Cannes. Curtis said he was romantically interested in all his leading ladies but did not have affairs with any.
