Maureen O'Sullivan was certainly pretty, but every time her character opens her mouth, it's to nag or blame George for something. She even does it in his office when she knows his life's in danger.
I found myself wishing that her character had been mute like Henry Morgan's.
Try being put off for 7 yrs. You'd nag, too.
"So what else is on your mind besides 100 proof women, 90 proof whiskey, and 14 karat gold?"
She puts her husband in the position of having to choose between (what is basically) a vacation and a well paying career and marriage, she was the one that shoulda been murdered... in my humble opinion.
shareShe makes sense to me but then I have been married for 30 years to a man with a career like George's. Post again after your spouse's career destroys your personal life and let me know what you think!!! : )

I had no problem with Maureen O'Sullivan's character. An other wife would have left Stroud already, but she didn't - she fought for her family life and their kid.

and arthouse. A film is a goddam film.-
yeah, are you forgetting he made promise after promise and left her hanging? Even their kid did not believe they were going on vacation because it never happens even though he always promises it will.
Frankly, his wife is a saint for putting up with that.
I wish I could remember the standup comic who said, "I wouldn't have to nag you if you listened to me the first time I said it. "
shareI sometimes repeat things to my wife because she doesn't respond. I stop saying whatever it is when she finally acknowledges that she's heard me. If she wouldn't ignore me in the first place, I wouldn't have to say things more than once.
