  Review by CooperG ★★★½ 1

  This actually wasn’t half bad. Had to watch this for english class, I was expecting a pretty dry old movie that would be pretty forgetful. Not saying this movie is very memorable, but it was still not a bad watch. Kept me interested enough. Good acting to, and a good-well written story.

  Review by OxfordComma ★★½

  Jim (Jose Ferrer) tries to kill himself. His estranged wife, Ann (June Allyson) brings him to a public hospital. She's all sweetness and light on the surface. He's all flat affect. Through a series of flashbacks we learn that they started out okay (as most of us do), but she gradually began to become emotionally abusive.

  Allyson, who I have never ever liked, does way better here than I thought possible, but is still a lot more pleasant than I think the part really calls for. Ferrer is quite good and quite believable as a man suffering from a major depression.

  I now want to read the play because my sense is that they made a few changes for the film adaptation, including but not limited to the ending.
