Gregory Peck's character Tom Rath is dishonest on several levels and his wife Betsey (Jennifer Jones) knows it!
At the films beginning, she says "You've changed!"
Through several flashbacks, we see some Tom Rath's rough war life. And Jennifer Jones pushes him to achieve, and go for the better job, but maybe it's because she KNOWS she doesn't have his whole heart, as she once did. And he's losing his moral backbone too!
Work---Will he be a "yes" man or will he tell his boss the truth? Home---Will he tell his wife the truth about his war past? And how will they deal with the consequences??? Family vs. Work--Will he be a "9 to 5" man? Or will he climb up the corporate ladder with a boss who admires him???
Great supporting role by Frederic March, as his boss... ----- DVD has great commentary by James Monaco, who was in his youth in the 50's, and a man unknown to me but a media and film expert (per the website he gives out at the end). He mixes standard film commentary with relevant "life in the 1950's" details.
