Father Comes Too 1964, A young married couple experience difficulties doing up a cottage, and then her father moves in and disrupts everything. British comedy, with Stanley Baxter and Sally Smith as the young couple, and her father is played was played by James Robertson Justice, so you know all hell breaks loose. A marriage that is given a great shake, I let this pic represent all the great movies those two made together, the immortal joys Kate and Spence gave us. The pic is offcourse from Adam's Rib 1949. The murderous marriage of Véra Clouzot and Paul Meurisse, but who is killing who, in Les diaboliques 1955 Marriage of widow and widower, with many many kids of their own, Yours, Mine and Ours 1968

teleadm... that must be the best movie about a marriage -- although accidental, there ever has been. i have some great ideas for a remake and even a sequel to the remake. [bringing some of 'today-ness' into the movie.]

[bringing some of 'today-ness' into the movie.] Thanks for your comments! Dearly! I too can become happy when someone else mentions a favorite of mine, and why not. Minor thing...I have no clue what movie you are referring to that I've mentioned The Spoiler thing was a mistake, there is nothing under it.

"Vacation From Marriage" is a very good film with Robert Donat and Deborah Kerr as a couple who "grow up" and apart during WWII. I love this gem of a film, Linda (known as Perfect Strangers to our friends on the other side of the pond), and am so grateful you thought to include it. I recommend it to anyone as an example of the astonishingly endless versatility of Donat and Kerr, and the symmetry of its parallel story arcs - and of their observations of how people can grow apart while together, yet grow together and rediscover each other by being apart - is beautiful, yet avoids predictability. Special mention should also go to Glynis Johns, herself always a gem, as Kerr's wise, plucky and resourceful wartime compatriot...and who is still with us at 94, I'm happy to say.

I never really thought about either as being "about" marriage, but both versions of Gaslight could fit the category, insofar as portraying it as a circumstance of peril. 1940: Diana Wynyard and Anton Walbrook It's been a good 50 years since I read the Patrick Hamilton play "Angel Street," so can't recall if this first screen adaptation follows it more closely than MGM's production of four years later (although I'll assume it does). What it does effectively is capture the grim and claustrophobic atmosphere of a woman entrapped by her husband's insidious brand of psychological torture, and no one could relay elegantly and coldly reptilian emotional brutality quite like the priceless Anton Walbrook. I've never been fully convinced that the naturally stoic poise of Diana Wynyard was appropriate to the systematic unraveling of "Bella Mallen," but comparisons of differing approaches to common source material are usually interesting and informative. Which leads us to... 1944: Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman Opulent MGM gloss somewhat counteracts qualities of the 1940 original, but "actors' director" George Cukor's guidance of Boyer from earnestly romantic charmer to suavely manipulative villain and of Bergman's emotionally dependent innocence to near-complete internal destruction as "Paula Anton" - along with a broader and more open story arc - ultimately proves, for me, the more satisfying of the two. But it's great fun to see both and reach one's own conclusions.

Have never seen this and Deborah Kerr is one of my favorite actresses in the world. So thanks to you and neurosturgeon for the recommendation. I love Donat, too, but I've always been a bit in love with Deborah Kerr. According to TCM's current online schedule, it's due to be run again on 2/16/18. Less than two months away; set your DVR when it shows up on your cable/satellite system program guide!
