Totally implausible storyline. Unbelievable that suave, debonair Cary Grant could be in danger of losing his wife to another man, even Robert Mitchum. Equally unbelievable that his happy wife of 10 years would run off for a 4 day sex romp with a man she's known for 5 minutes. The utter civility of the whole affair is ridiculous, as is the duel sequence. Shots are fired and the women are barely interested enough to see what's happening. The double standard, although quite common in past decades, of husbands vs. Wives in matters if infidelity is maddening. You watch anyway, waiting for emotions and fireworks to kick in but they never do. The look of the film itself is beautiful, vivid colours and gorgeous sets. The story is a ridiculous wreck.
