Two failing marriages connected with a small town New England law firm prompt Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and Lana Turner to engage in a torrid affair; Zimbalist's son, George Hamilton, ignores his beautiful fianc�e in favor of another girl. Strained soap opera of rich, dissatisfied people whose characters are never sufficiently developed; it is difficult to care about anyone involved. Dramatization of the tail end only of James Gould Cozzens's novel. Accompanied with a lush score by Elmer Bernstein.
