Audience Member Absolutely fantastic film, which was truly ahead of it's time by exploring themes like discrimination, promiscuity and alcoholism in an America still struggling to put a heavy past behind. Great cast! A must see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautifully candid exploration of the darkness that hides behind the beautifully manicured homes of suburbia. It's an Eisenhower-era expose about love and marriage which digs deeper into the sterile American suburbs than any other film from the era. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review rich v Captures the economic prosperity of the Fifties and the growth of suburbia as upwardly mobile couples flee the city for suburban "nice neighborhoods". Captures the attitudes, prejudices, clothing, music etc, of the time and as such is one of the best "period pieces" I've ever seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a film set in a typical 1950's urban setting. It's a 1950's film that deals with problems you don't usually hear in a 1950's film; but more closer to a 1960's film. It is a character film. They are dealing with post dramatic war disorder from World War II, drug addiction, work verses home, racism, relationships between a husband and wife. What I find odd is that all of the characters present a lifestyle on the outside that looks typical but personally we see they are all flawed and dis-functional. With a few things I felt like I was not satisfied with how the ending went because I was not satisfied with how some things were resolved in their characters. I thought it was good that the drunk father still tried even though unsuccessfully to try and provide for his son and wife. I was glad the Japanese family got to be able to live in the naberhood. But I did not feel necessarily like this was a safe environment although it was an open neiborhood where is was simpler to cross into another persons yard, get into another's house, parties between neibors happens frequently. There did seem like there was a realistic aspect to this film In the problems these people were facing, the life style, and the look of the environment. It was an odd film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful, yet not easy to find. It is a story about middle class America (what would be termed the 'yuppies' i the 70's and 80's). It is sometimes amusing, sometimes heartwarming, yet often very dark.There are many dark secrets among the 4 couples that are at the center of the story. A must see and Tony Randall at his best!
