Richard Quine
Writers:
Evan Hunter (screenplay), Evan Hunter (novel)Stars:
Kirk Douglas, Kim Novak, Ernie Kovacs
Sexual misconduct in white-collar suburbia is the topic of this routine melodrama involving two neighboring couples. Architect Larry Coe (Kirk Douglas), unhappy with his wife Eve's (Barbara Rush) fixation on their bank balance, starts taking an interest in Maggie Gault (Kim Novak), whose husband has been losing interest in her. The two steal several illicit moments together, but this activity has not gone unnoticed. Good ol' neighbor Felix (Walter Matthau) figures that Eve might be feeling a little neglected, so he decides to move into the picture. Richard Quine's direction is an asset to an otherwise clichéd tale.

Never gets old
Just watching my two favorite stars in this movie is a real treat. I've seen it over 10 times and still enjoy it. Probably more of a woman's movie, and I love it! The storyline is timeless and in my opinion,still relevant today. Certainly worth the price of the DVD.
