How to Murder Your Wife
Released in 1965, it can be said that it is the doyen of stag do movies. An exceptional script comedy, which shows the story of a very famous graphic artist (played by the great Jack Lemmon), who hates marriage and everything similar. The problem is that he attends the stag do celebration of a friend and wakes up the next morning with a serious problem: at the party, he got married to a young Italian woman named Lisi, the girl who popped out of the cake.

Bachelor Party
