The Bigamist goes where no movie has gone before; it gives us a bigamist as the central character and manages to make us sympathise with his plight. Harry Graham is a salesman who longs to spend time with his wife, played by Joan Fontaine, but she's a workaholic businesswoman who rarely finds time in her schedule for her husband. While on a sales trip Graham befriends a waitress played by Ida Lupino and as friendship turns to love Graham calls and teases his wife about meeting another women; we see a quick flash of fear in her eyes, but then she immediately changes the conversation, in a fake chirpy tone, and pretends nothing bothers her.
The well-detailed characters bring the drama of The Bigamist to life. The waitress is a tough but compassionate character, much more full of life that Fontaine's Eisenhower-era wife. Significantly, we also discover that the waitress is much more fertile than Fontaine - who cannot bear children. This subtle critique of '50s families and the sterility of home life when business becomes more important than family communication makes The Bigamist just as relevant today as when it was made in 1953.
