Indiscreet (1958)

An actress living in London has a love affair with an economist living in Paris. He tells her he is married but cannot get a divorce.

This is not a film without interest, and in fact it tackles some subjects concerning the dialogue of the sexes which are still important today, although not in the same terms. The problem for me was that it moves at a snail's pace for most of its duration (the pace suddenly picks up near the end). There is also the problem that this is the kind of film which focuses on wealthy people and distorts a bit their feelings  and attitudes so as to conform with those of the general audience of mostly working and middle class women. From the present day's vantage point this is a slightly dated film. Anyway, the bottom line in any age is that most women want to marry for economic reasons. In the movie both are rich, so I would have to guess whether some of the behavior depicted made much sense.
