The Bigamist (1953) DVD: The Bigamist 1953 DVD |
| Product Description : Based on the ritualistic moral laws that governed American Society in the Eisenhower era, The Bigamist is an endearing attempt by director Ida Lupino to justify the misgivings of a successful deep-freeze salesman who is driven by circumstances into a second secret marriage. Playing second fiddle probably came naturally to Ida, who was cast in several similar roles before she took up direction, but what she managed to squeeze out of Edmund O?Brien in terms of a performance is truly laudable. Edmund?s portrayal of a man who is successful in business but disgruntled with his personal life is magnificent. The plot unfolds nicely, showing Harry?s gradual disillusionment with life, his persistent but waning attempts at winning his wife?s attention and their unintended but steady drifting apart. Ida has done a fabulous job of showing how a man gives in little by little to internal pressures and circumstances. Although she has more or less a bit role to play in this classic, Joan Fontaine doesn?t miss the opportunity to show off her irresistible charm. Most movie audiences would leave the halls believing "he couldn?t help it, she?s to blame", while purists may have an altogether different outlook. Be that as it may, The Bigamist comes pretty close to capturing real life situations in a very convincing manner and is a must see for those who are die-hard Ida Lupino fans or simply lovers of great Hollywood classics. |
