Besties Rita (Ann Sothern), Deborah (Jeanne Crain), and Lora Mae (Linda Darnell) are each happily married … or are they? When a letter informs the trio that a mutual acquaintance has run off with one of their husbands-but declines to specify which-each wife is left to reflect on the underlying tensions and terms of her relationship. Snagging Mankiewicz Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay, this comedy of manners undertakes a hilarious and poignant examination of the intimacies and anxieties of marriage.
