98 of 1001 Movies: The Bigamist (1953)

One man and two women, so what will happen? Usually these stories don't end up well especially if both the women are not interested into being married to one man. Ida Lupino has directed a story though that is compelling, short, and simple, so it's easy to get into and follow. Also, in a very small way I think it does showcase a man's want in a relationship and how instead of just discussing it he runs from it. Some of the dynamics that never get a full view in the short movie are available at least for the viewer to think about once it's over.

Harry and Eve are wanting to expand their family, and seek out an adoption. Harry is reluctant to open up to the investigator about his life, and this makes him suspicious so he begins researching a little about Harry, and finds that Harry isn't suitable to adopting much less even be married to Eve. The amount of traveling he has done from his home in San Francisco to Los Angles doesn't even seem normal for his work. After being tracked down living with the other wife, and baby, he begins explaining how he became married to two women.
