This drama of a successful man whose wife has suffered for 20 years in the midwestern city of Zenith and now on a journey to Europe fights as hard as she can against getting older by flirting with a series of men--Niven, Lukas, etc.--is disturbing on so many levels. In many ways it is sexist and out of date, but on the other hand, there are so many truths here as well--truths that hurt, and one can't help but reflect upon one's own relationships. I didn't know an ending like this would be allowed in 1936. As the wife, who is portrayed as the main villain here, Chatterton is appropriately maddening, but her performance is superb. As the husband who sometimes goes out of his way to remind his wife she isn't as young as she pretends to be, Huston is mostly sympathetic, but we can still see why after 20 years his wife needs something more, something he isn't able to give--at least to her. Well made and directed, but perhaps it looks better after a few days watching nothing but B movies and second features! (It's hard to believe this is the same Walter Huston in Treasure of the Sierra Madre! The man COULD act.) ( ) Samuel Dodsworth es un magnate de la industria del automóvil, el típico hombre de negocios que empezando desde abajo ha llegado a la cima del éxito. Él y su esposa deciden pasar una segunda luna de miel en Europa, pero durante el viaje descubre que ella le es infiel, y su mundo empieza a tambalearse. En tal circunstancia, conoce a una mujer que le devuelve la fe en el amor y lo convence de que vale la pena vivir. Gracias a ella, pondrá todos los medios a su alcance para salvar su matrimonio, pero quizá sea demasiado tarde...
While other writers were turning out novels ridiculing American materialism and glorifying the expatriate existence, Sinclair Lewis conceived a businessman-hero and showed him to be a true dreamer, while his culture-mad wife, longing to be enriched by life in Europe, was a foolish horror. Sidney Howard made a play of Lewis’s novel, and Walter Huston gave a legendary performance as the hero. He also stars in the movie version, which was produced by Sam Goldwyn with great care and taste; William Wyler is the director. There’s only one trouble, really, but it’s central: Sidney Howard also did the screenplay, and the movie follows the stage version too closely. It looks programmed and underpopulated, though in an elegantly stylized way. Est une adaptation dePrix et récompenses
