Jeanne Crain, Paul Douglas
Solid melodrama from the hollywood machine of 1949. A prosperous town's most appealing woman sends a letter to three of her former friends saying she has run off with one of their husbands.
This silly contrivance leads each of the women to search her memory to see if she might be the loser. The film is a series of flashbacks - one for each of them.
In spite of the creakiness of the plot the film still works...by focusing on the internal dynamics of each woman's marriage we come to know these women as people, what's good about them, what's not so good. So we come to care about their fate. The eventual resolution is just right.
