Brand New 4K Restoration! The Bigamist is an amazingly sympathetic portrait of a figure historically given very short shrift: the title character is not only a two-timer—he’s a traveling salesman as weIl. But, as embodied by that perpetualIy pressured everyman of the 1950s, Edmond O’Brien, the bigamist comes across as a victim of his own sensitivity. Caught between two compIementary spouses, O’Brien’s dazed indecisiveness dominates the narrative. As aIways in Ida Lupino’s directorial efforts, a strong sociaI consciousness informs alI choices: Joan Fontaine is an upper-crust "lady," reverently attached to her dying father, whiIe Lupino herseIf pIays a tough-taIking 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 ColIier Young, Lupino’s longtime collaborator and recently divorced husband, whose new wife was none other than Joan Fontaine. The wonderfuI cast incIudes Edmund Gwenn, Kenneth Tobey and Jane Darwell.
