i love this film . it manage to make the character sympathetic ( well and most of them ) concern the problem they have with their relationship . gloria swanson and a leila and be in a dusty marriage with a husband who barely notice her presence ( though he do notice her absence ) . the film show very well why she be tire of married life and and why she be susceptible to a sweet talk con man and without make her selfish or demand . the reaction shot of leila at the dinner table on her anniversary and while her workaholic husband ( late to dinner again ) eats salt scallion with gusto and push bride and groom doll out of the way of his plate and be perfect . the show be steal and steal effortlessly by elliott dexter a jim and leila neglectful husband . after lose leila to another man and jim literally clean up his act and shave off his mustache and work out to lose the middle age spread and and dress neatly . there be several shot of jim at home and lonely and think of leila and include a powerful scene when he find one of her old dress in the closet . the film give the audience the advantage of watch jim transformation along with leila . it isn not just the exterior that more attractive while we come to know much more about the kind of person jim really be and and we see how completely different he be from leila second husband and schuyler ( lew cody ) . dexter shine a the before and after jim and who be determine and after discover schuyler true character and to win leila back and if he can . the film most touching moment come when jim and leila discover that they be stand under the mistletoe and and jim talk of what he have lose . definitely worth watching .
