A amusing movie with some sharp social comment noted through the barbs of Kirk Douglas/Thelma Ritter ..Linda Darnell was great and I had figured the put upon Paul Douglas was the would be cheater..There was a rather dire 1985 TV movie remake.Stick with original,as usual.
There was no cheating husband! Porter admitted to planning to run off with Addie Ross but changed his mind and didn't. I thought it was a good way to end the film although it probably was more of a story-book ending. I think too, that after the women having gone thru all the trauma of wondering if the culprit was their husband, the way it ended more or less created better relationships between everyone! Thanks for your comment.
That’s what I thought happened—he changed his mind. At the time I saw it I thought it was a way to have a happy ending without any real consequences. But I did like the movie, especially Linda Darnell.
Sorry, but Brad is the cheating husband. He did in fact run away with Addie. ( Who I wanted to strangle)

Wow, Kirk Douglas looks so young here, rest his soul.
I know! He was quite the actor!

Linda Darnell was great! Love her quips! (She died young in a house fire started by a cigarette)
What did you think of the ending? Specifically the way the cheating husband is revealed?
Very well done. I knew it was Brad all along . Weak rich boy. I hope Deborah got a huge settlement.
