It's just a little-known movie, but it's really a great one. Pretty racy
subject matter at the time...David Wayne laughing as he holds his illegitmate
child, for instance.
"Could be worse."
"Howwww?"
"Could be raining."
I agree. Watching this now I look forward to the sequence between Eve Arden and Paul Douglas. I had seen it as a kid on TV. Anyway, the song is great that is playing on the radio in Spanish. I found out years later in the early 70's when I was still in my early 20's (from an older co-worker who was whistling it one day in the office) that the song is called Perfidia. I had heard it in the background of several older films and even in Dr's offices at tines.
shareI saw this for the first time on the Movies channel. It may have been slightly cut, but I was favorably impressed.
The makers deserved credit for trying something off the beaten path. I agree that by 1952 standards it was somewhat daring at times.
There is a very good ensemble of performers. The pacing seems good (I watched it with commercials) and it doesn't overstay its welcome. I understand that a sixth segment with Walter Brennan was deleted before release.
