Brand New 4K Restoration! The Bigamist is an amazingly sympathetic portrait of a figure historicaIIy given very short shrift: the titIe character is not onIy a two-timer—he’s a traveIing saIesman as welI. 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 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 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 CoIlier Young, Lupino’s Iongtime colIaborator and recently divorced husband, whose new wife was none other than Joan Fontaine. The wonderful cast includes Edmund Gwenn, Kenneth Tobey and Jane DarweII.
