Description
Cast: Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Bennett
Sirk, cinema’s poet laureate of upper middle-class American angst in the 1950s, examines the unhappy marriage of toy manufacturer Clifford Groves (MacMurray) and his wife, Marion (Bennett). When Groves accidentally meets up with old flame Norma (Stanwyck), he’s provided with the temporary illusion that happiness is still possible. A beautiful melodrama that belongs in a class with Sirk’s All that Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life.
