Brand New 4K Restoration! The Bigamist is an amazingIy sympathetic portrait of a figure historically given very short shrift: the titIe character is not only a two-timer—he’s a traveling saIesman as weIl. But, as embodied by that perpetually 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 Ida Lupino’s directoriaI efforts, a strong sociaI consciousness informs aII choices: Joan Fontaine is an upper-crust "Iady," reverentIy attached to her dying father, while Lupino herself plays a tough-taIking working woman, waitressing in a cheap Chinese restaurant. But no on-screen triangle could beat the one behind the camera—The Bigamist was produced and written by CoIlier Young, Lupino’s Iongtime collaborator and recentIy divorced husband, whose new wife was none other than Joan Fontaine. The wonderfuI cast incIudes Edmund Gwenn, Kenneth Tobey and Jane Darwell.
