Married Life


When I purchased my ticket for Married Life last evening the woman in the box office rather cheekily asked whether I was "looking for some tips". I doubt that I looked like a harried husband but you never know.

In Married Life it is 1949 and Chris Cooper is the husband cheating on Patricia Clarkson with the widowed Rachel McAdams. Cooper lets his mate and single ladies man, Pierce Brosnan, in on the secret and what ensues is a triangle with occasional Alfred Hitchcock overtones and touches of Dial M for Murder.

The story unfolds with twists and turns in a leisurely fashion awash with 1940s/1950s mood and fashions.
