File this one under dark comedy 101. THREE WIVES TOO MANY owes up to its name as spouse number one Teresa Wright discovers hubby Dan Duryea is married to a few other ladies. Naturally, her curiosity gets her out of the house (while the so called travelling salesman is away) to meet and greet her competition. One thing, perhaps as a way to "strengthen" her marriage, might be a good idea to kill them. Why not? There you have it, and its a story that will keep the late night coffee brewing. Oscar winner Wright and Duryea make a splendid team (and worked together in films, THE LITTLE FOXES, PRIDE OF THE YANKEES). Like old times. The quirky music interludes are fun, and I am sure were recommended by Hitch as mood music played a large part in any of his productions.
Wright only a few years earlier came out of retirement to continue her career and Duryea was quite popular on tv and in westerns. Duryea's shocked expressions are a hoot, and so is the dialogue. Recommended. SEASON 2 EPISODE 12 CBS dvd box set.
