7/10
A thought provoking film, if you ignore the booze and drugs

I really liked this film as long as I didn't pay that much attention to the booze and tranquilizers. Sure, this is 1957-58, but wasn't that Westport house fabulous!!! It seems that everyone was moving to Westport at the time. Think Lucy and Desi from I Love Lucy and the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour.

I just saw this movie last night by the way of TiVo. It was adult in nature and showed that Richard Widmark could do comedy. His performance is a real gem. It shows him as an overworked husband who with Doris as his wife are trying to have a baby. So they adopt, and everyone says that the kid looks a lot like Richard. At the end, Doris is pregnant, everyone is happy, which is a fitting ending to this war between marrieds and how two people can have problems not trusting the other partner. Sure explains life today.
