Was something really going on?


Was Maria and Sobinski actually having an affair or was it just an 'innocent' flirtation; spending time together but not much else? They spent time together but he saw her as the down-home decent girl, the way her publicity portrayed her. Then again, he was sleeping in her bed and keeping secrets from her husband.

I can see it both ways but considering the era I'm not sure how it was intended. The Code was in effect but other movies of that time depicted affairs. I love the subtlety but sometimes I'm not sure what to think. Any thoughts?

I think they were having an affair, but she wasn't going to leave her husband for him. Just fun and games.

On the surface it seemed innocent, but no matter how you slice it she was being unfaithful to him. Anyone who would keep a relationship like this a secret from their spouse is cheating.
