My Five Wives? Was that the unscreened early 1960s sitcom pilot with Fred MacMurray whose closing credits zoom in on a row of ten lady-legs in five kinds of shoes and a pair of dainty hands accordioning the onscreen names? Or did I just dream that now? When they found out *I* had five wives, they said I was selfish; that's funny, I thought it was rather big a'me ...
