An exploration of infidelity in 1960, it was believable and intense. However, the story was told mostly from the male point of view, with just enough insight from the female side to move the story.

Adult drama in the style of Douglas Sirk or John Stahl, mostly believable (except for Matthau's action at the end) but lacks the poetic quality that elevated Sirk's best works.

My first impulse was to call this "Sirkian" but I worry that I might fall into a trap of labelling ANY melodrama "Sirkian". Sometimes a soap opera is just a soap opera. And this is pretty soapy... it certainly didn't have any of the transcendent quality of Sirk. Predictable suburban infidelity romance, nothing at all noteworthy about it (except that it's rather steamy for 1960). I didn't hate anything about it, but it didn't do much for me.
