Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

In this gritty but far-fetched tale, directed by and co-starring Ida Lupino, a feckless travelling salesman (Edmond O'Brien) ends up with two wives (Lupino and the long-suffering Joan Fontaine). This is adult material and director Lupino really makes you believe in O'Brien's dilemma. It's an unusual and serious subject that is given a dramatic outing for a change, unlike the comic contortions of The Captain's Paradise or The Doctor's Dilemma. The only weakness is in the framing story, with lovable Edmund Gwenn as an investigator.
