Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1949 drama film adapted from the novel Letter to Five Wives by John Klempner.Three women — Lora Mae (Linda Darnell), Rita (Ann Sothern), and Deborah (Jeanne Crain) — receive a letter from a mutual friend stating that she's run off with one of their husbands. The thing that she's not telling is whose husband it is; she's letting them guess for themselves.Won Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay (both for Joseph L. Mankiewicz), and was nominated for Best Picture. Kirk Douglas, relatively early in his film career, has a supporting role as Rita's husband, while Thelma Ritter appears as their maid.

Adaptation Distillation: This was based on the novel Letter to Five Wives. Two wives were taken out, one at the start, the other after the first draft, in order to help tighten the film.

Be Careful What You Wish For: After listening to two hours of radio programming, Mrs. Manleigh asks George which show he liked the most. George, who thinks radio as a medium is terrible, tries to make excuses not to answer for Rita's sake; Rita, missing the subtext in George's demurral, says she is sure Mrs. Manleigh would find his opinion invaluable, causing him to shock all present with a rant about the vacuity and insincerity of the programmes and especially the advertising.
