Summaries

Four-time widow Louisa May Foster sees a psychologist to discuss her marriages, in which her husbands (humble businessman Edgar, blase millionaire Rod, bohemian painter Larry, and nightclub singer Pinky) got rich and died due to greed.

This black comedy opens with Louisa Foster donating a multimillion dollar check to the IRS. The tax department thinks she's crazy and sends her to a psychiatrist. She then discusses her four marriages, in which all of her husbands became incredibly rich and died prematurely because of their drive to be rich.—Daniel Bubbeo <[email protected]>

A woman who wants nothing more than the simple life marries for love and ends up contributing to four husbands gaining fame and wealth - and ultimately dying. She is convinced she is cursed, and tries to give her millions to the U.S. Treasury. She's refused, all the way up the chain of command to the President. As a result, she's sent to see a psychiatrist.
