I just saw this movie for the first time. How many men have experienced the emotions of a man like Peck played? How many men in a stale and loveless marriage, or just full of desire felt this way towards a woman who deep down inside of themselves knew they could not have for long. A man felt trapped and worst of all in a community full of passion for judgment. I think the scene showing directions to the several churches said a lot.
With all the religion around him where could Peck share his feelings? He was getting set up by Tuesday Wells all the way. I know it brought back a memory to me, I could feel his pain. Now it is over for me I thought him the fool, but who am I to judge as I once was just as guilty.
The movie has more social commentary than it is given credit for. It is the man who is getting hurt not the woman. But nobody cares about men. All men should see the scene where Wells puts the hay fork into Peck's chest and remember it.
As far as the movie itself goes. It was all right.
