Deborah Bishop (Jeanne Crain) is a transplanted farm girl unsure of how to dress and act in the social realm her marriage has thrust her into. Has her husband Brad (Jeffrey Lynn) found her inadequate? Lora Mae Hollingsway (Linda Darnell) is an unabashedly scheming gold-digger who makes no apologies to husband Porter (Paul Douglas). Has he run off with a woman who can truly love him and not his money? But it is the savvy career girl Rita Phipps (Ann Sothern) that I found most appealing as she is willing to work for the things she wants and, unusual for her day, takes a job writing radio soap operas to supplement the income of husband George (Kirk Douglas). Has she emasculated him to the point he can no longer take it?

Jeanne Crain (May 25, 1925 - December 14, 2003) was an American actress. Born in Barstow, California, she moved to Los Angeles as a young child. While still in high school, she was asked to make a screen test opposite Orson Welles. She did not get the part, but at the age of 18, she appeared in a bit part in the movie The Gang's All Here.

From All Movie Guide: At age 16, Jeanne Crain won a beauty contest as "Miss Long Beach" and became a model; the next year she was named "Camera Girl of 1942," leading to contacts in Hollywood. She debuted on screen in 1943 in The Gang's All Here, beginning a starring career that lasted through the '50s. She rose to prominence through her performance in Henry Hathaway's Home in Indiana (1944). Crain was frequently cast as the "girl next door," and was generally employed to be a "pretty face" in the midst of light films, but occasionally she got more serious roles, as in Pinky (1949) in which she played a black girl passing for white; for that performance she was nominated for a "Best Actress Oscar," repeating a nomination she got for her role in Margie (1946). Her career waned in the '60s, but she continued to appear in films through the '70s. ~ All Movie Guide

William Holden and Jeanne Crain star as a young couple living in professor Edmund Gwenn's attic while Holden attends college on the GI Bill. The couple gives the prof. a new lease on life. Very good comedy-drama. Excellent quality.

Crain had the first of seven children, five of whom survive her, in 1947. The match was said to be one of the strongest in Hollywood, prompting Fox's publicist to record the couple's success in having children on four occasions between films, as well as the concern they caused their neighbours by having a lion cub called Shah-Shah in their garden.
