The Art of Love is a 1965 comedy film starring James Garner, Dick Van Dyke, and Elke Sommer. The film involves an American artist in Paris (Van Dyke) who fakes his own death in order to increase the worth of his paintings (new paintings keep "posthumously" hitting the market). His conniving pal (Garner) sells the paintings and withholds the proceeds while the artist toils in a shabby garret. Written by Richard Alan Simmons, William Sackheim, and Carl Reiner, and directed by Norman Jewison, the movie also features Angie Dickinson, Carl Reiner, and Ethel Merman.
