Customer Reviews

Suburban drama
The story plays out like a theatre play. It is in itself nothing special or particularly original - an unsatisfied housewife has an affair that ends and she has to cope with that. It's classic melodrama stuff with tragic incidents, desperation and tears. Of interest might be the fact that the setting is a freshly built small ranch style home in one of the new, half finished housing developments in San Fernando Valley. All the trappings - and the certain bleakness - of suburban life in the early 1950ies are on display. I think this is rare for melodramas of the era, for that reason the movie is well worth watching. Part of the action takes place while the housholder tries to have a TV antenna installed on the roof on his new home. The performances of the cast are flawless.

HISTRIONIC
The actors seem to be competing for an over-acting award. This is very syrupy stuff. The image quality is just average. Geneon [Pioneer] ver.
