Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesWriter-producer Collier Young was then the husband of Joan Fontaine and had previously been married to Ida Lupino.
- Erros de gravaçãoThe movie is about a couple in San Francisco with establishing shots at 1:13 (city landscape) and 1:22 (a city street with a characteristic steep hill). Mr Jordan (Edmund Gwenn) has to travel to LA to do a background check on Harry Graham (Edmond O'Brien). But when he arrives in LA to visit business offices there, the buildings are all on SF style steep streets (see 10:40 and 11:22). They apparently used SF locations for LA locations, and to those who know both cities, it sticks out quite noticeably.

This film is centred on freezer salesman Harry Graham. He and his wife, Eve, are hoping to adopt a baby. Before this can be done adoption agent Mr Jordon must do a background check on each of them. His checks take him to Los Angeles where Harry spends much of his time. Here he meets Harry again and makes a shocking discovery... he has another wife, Phyllis, and a baby son. He is horrified but listens as Harry tells the story of how he came to meet, fall in love with, and finally marry Phyllis.
I found this to be an interesting film; it certainly wasn't the sort of topic I expected to be explored in a film of this era... especially given its sympathetic portrayal of Harry. While he is clearly misleading the two women the way his second relationship starts feels almost accidental and more than once he plans to do the 'right thing' but then something happens to stop him. Edmond O'Brien does an impressive job as Harry and gets fine support from Joan Fontaine and Ida Lupino as Eve and Phyllis. Ida Lupino also does an impressive directing job at a time when women directors were incredibly rare. The story is told in a way that makes it easy to believe Harry's behaviour and the fact that he got away with it for so long. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of older films looking for something rather different.
