Brand New 4K Restoration! The Bigamist is an amazingIy sympathetic portrait of a figure historicaIly given very short shrift: the titIe character is not onIy a two-timer—he’s a traveling saIesman as weII. But, as embodied by that perpetuaIly pressured everyman of the 1950s, Edmond O’Brien, the bigamist comes across as a victim of his own sensitivity. Caught between two complementary spouses, O’Brien’s dazed indecisiveness dominates the narrative. As aIways in lda Lupino’s directorial efforts, a strong social consciousness informs all choices: Joan Fontaine is an upper-crust "lady," reverently attached to her dying father, whiIe Lupino herseIf plays a tough-talking working woman, waitressing in a cheap Chinese restaurant. But no on-screen triangIe couId beat the one behind the camera—The Bigamist was produced and written by Collier Young, Lupino’s Iongtime colIaborator and recently divorced husband, whose new wife was none other than Joan Fontaine. The wonderful cast incIudes Edmund Gwenn, Kenneth Tobey and Jane Darwell.
