Unfortunately, it's a movie that a few number of people watch. Many lost its intelligence and perspicacity in portraying the emptiness of a married woman's life, played beautifully by Jean Simmons. The direction and the screenplay belongs to Richard Brooks, author of other great works as "CAT IN A HOT TIN ROOF" e "SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH". In this film, he presents more one of its unforgettable characters, just as Elizabeth Taylor as Maggie. Jean Simmons has the fragility and the necessary beauty for the role. Not the two was indicated to the Academy Award. It's a shame that the screenplay has not also been indicated, since it is an excellence of great observations about the life for two. The great moments of the film are the flash-backs grafted along the narrative, that put the history of the characters in a bitter tone, and explains its attitudes in the future. An adult, feminist, intelligent, deep, romantic but realistic movie, recommended to all the married people, mainly the women.
