Irving Rapper (1898–1999)

Utterly ridiculous but somewhat compelling story of mystery writer Davis (who certainly doesn't write every day!), on-the-run Gary Merrill (whose American accent is never explained since he is supposed to be Davis's estranged husband, who is presumably British), and nosy veterinarian Williams (who gives the best performance). The vet knows something funny is going on. Yes, it is. Two men presumably find the aging Davis, who was never good-looking to begin with, utterly irresistable. Oh, show more well, everyone pretty much gets what they deserve by the end of this one--and it is quite an ending. I should add that the setting in Northern England is amazing. Also that Merrill and Davis were married when this was made. About year 2 out of the 10 it lasted. show less

A woman with an overbearing mother has a nervous breakdown, then falls in love with a married man.

2/4 (Indifferent).

Unlikable characters, in a relationship we don't want to see happen, with no chemistry.

Nice but straightforward story. Charlton Heston fans will like it.
