I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now? (original USA theatrical name Kill My Wife, Please) is a 1975 black comedy movie directed by Steven Hilliard Stern, and starring Bob Dishy and Joanna Barnes.[2] Originally Peter Sellers was to be cast as the lead, but insurance refused to cover him after a recent heart attack, and Dishy was cast as his replacement at the last moment. It was directed by Steven Hilliard Stern, from a screenplay by Mickey Rose.[3][4]

The title is a play on the 1947 musical I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now.

Soundtrack is Polonaise Op.53 in A flat major (Frédéric Chopin).

Plot

Jordan Oliver (Dishy) is caught embezzling $250,000 from his employer but, as he is the boss' son-in-law, is given a chance to pay it back. Meanwhile, his wealthy wife Clarice (Barnes) is about to divorce him. He can only get the money by having his wife murdered for $1 million life insurance.[5] He hires a hitman Bobo (Bill Dana) to kill his wife; Bobo subcontracts the job out to another hitman, who in turn subcontracts it out and so on until an actor is the hitman for just $6.95. When Oliver is told his wife's insurance is invalid, he must rescue his wife before she's murdered.
