Couple of other thoughts
HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE amused our family in the late 60s (I was about 8!) but a rewatch as an adult found it a bit wanting - but watchable - Agree Mayehoff funny and Claire Trevor raised a smile or two....as for the unwoke ambience believe me it has nothing on UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE from 1963 - where Lemmon's leering lech landlord's abuse of his role would today get him prosecuted,
You've got me lining up STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET for a rewatch 
- been 40 years. Only vaguely recall the rape - for a similar sin in the suburbs romp I recommend NO DOWN PAYMENT from a couple of years earlier- this focuses on 4 young couples in a new housing estate and is much grittier - with a rape plotline. Mainly remember Novak being dreamy, plush production values and Matthau standing out.
