The Ladies of Lawrence

When a well-known womanizer drops dead at his 70th birthday party, his three ex-wives coach the current wife through the ensuing publicity.

Senator Lawrence has been married three times and has had numerous mistresses. At his 70th birthday party given by his fourth wife, she discovers that all the ex-wives and surviving mistresses are at the party and are all good friends. The fourth wife learns that Lawrence has followed the same script with his 60th birthday and 50th birthday in dancing with his mistresses and ex-wives. When Senator Lawrence suddenly drops dead of a heart attack, the ex-wives challenge the fourth wife to mourn appropriately before one of the mistresses gets front page. After the ambulance is gone, the wives and lovers toast his memories, his generosity, and his sexual prowess in bed.
