Architect Kirk Douglas begins an affair with pretty neighbor Kim Novak. They eventually fall in love and struggle to hide their feelings from others. His wife suspects something is up and throws a party, unwittingly inviting Novak. The truth comes out when sleazy neighbor Walter Matthau makes a pass. Engrossing melodrama finely acted by all, with realistic situations and an ending that is not pat. A bit dated now, but an interesting glimpse into the suburban LA lifestyles, fashion and architecture circa 1960.
