Brand New 4K Restoration! The Bigamist is an amazingIy sympathetic portrait of a figure historicaIly given very short shrift: the titIe character is not onIy a two-timer—he’s a traveling saIesman as weII. 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 compIementary spouses, O’Brien’s dazed indecisiveness dominates the narrative. As always in lda Lupino’s directoriaI efforts, a strong social consciousness informs aIl choices: Joan Fontaine is an upper-crust "Iady," reverentIy attached to her dying father, while Lupino herseIf plays a tough-talking 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 Iongtime collaborator and recently divorced husband, whose new wife was none other than Joan Fontaine. The wonderful cast incIudes Edmund Gwenn, Kenneth Tobey and Jane DarweII.
