New 35mm print
In this tragicomedy, scripted by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, Judy truly comes into her own as a proletarian heroine. She and Aldo Ray play Florence and Chet, a working-class couple whose marriage is strained by unforeseen circumstances. Their struggles, emotional and financial, are presented in beautiful, intimate detail rarely depicted in films of the 50s, and it is refreshing to watch Judy create a strong woman character who is loyal, resilient, and intensely human. Aldo Ray is dynamic and virile as the more conventional husband and father who can’t seem to get it together. The story is told in flashback in divorce court, first from the husband’s point of view, then the wife’s. The film’s critique of traditional gender roles is somewhat ahead of its time.
