7/10
Soapy Guilty Pleasure

I know this movie doesn't deserve a 7, but it's very entertaining if you like scandalous happenings amongst the small town elite.

Suzanne Pleshette is gorgeous and alluring even as she is conflicted by inappropriate liaisons with men. It's not her fault that she looks like a lush 30-year old when she's supposed to be 16.

We are led to believe she has a disorder (nymphomania), but maybe her actions are just outside the norms of the town which seems mired more in 1955 than 1965? There is no need to recap the plot here. If you like movies where upset people grip highball glasses and gulp down liquor, or make out with people not their husbands in cars with rain/steamed windows, you'll love A RAGE TO LIVE (based on the novel by John O'Hara).
