In the Cool of the Day (1963)

Directed by Robert Stevens
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Jane Fonda is a fragile wife who dreams of going to Greece. Peter Finch is unhappily married to Angela Lansbury, scarred from an automobile accident. Fonda soon gets her wish, and Finch takes the opportunity to leave his wife, and together they fall in love in Greece. The cinematography is wonderful, but leaves the film feeling like a travelogue at times. I was hoping for some Hitchcockian theatrics, but instead it devolves into a weepy soaper.
