Agreed, but still they could have worked it out. Frank and Peggy say they love each other. That's worse than physically cheating. Marie is willing to keep working. She admits she's mercenary. Peggy wants a nice home in the suburbs. Yes, I'm a snob against girls who don't have to work for pay and the suburbs. I've even been called vivacious , and it irks my goat to see the perceived good girl pitted against the perceived bad girl who married the wrong guy. The movie was a lot deeper than I was afraid it would be! Frank's a cad. But I wished them all the best of luck as I was blowing my nose.Patrick Murtha said:I'm not sure if "vivacious" is the word I would use for the Virginia Mayo character...
In any case, the "cheating" by the husband doesn't progress beyond a kiss, and the wife walks out on the husband of her own volition and for her own reasons (and there's a strong suggestion that her "cheating" has gone much, much farther than his).
Those quickie wartime weddings didn't always work out so well.
Their situation mirrors my own in many ways, but the War's not over yet in mine.
It is interesting that Butch said next war we'd all be blown to bits at the start. Obviously he meant World War, thank goodness.
