the ending was a bit to pat for a well written, questioning movie--moves to brink of nihilism and then becomes very conventional. The acting of the main male leads is very good and one of Chayevsky's best scripts (Hospital is another favorite) butt he main character Charlie gives in too easily at the end to a positive and sappy conclusion; love the 50's existential ambiance and the great party scene in the Village; Kerouac would could have been at the party; the wife of Charlie is a bit simplistic as are some of the other women in the film, black and white very effective. Eg MArshall is poignant is his nihilistic questioning of the meaning of life.
