A weird situation where I wasn't necessarily invested in the plot from moment to moment, but I absolutely loved the central conflict. A lot of really effective and memorable moments in here elevated by a marvelous cast, particularly Myrna Loy and Jimmy Stewart's supporting role. Less of a romcom and more of a legitimate drama, there's a lot of weight here. May grow on me.

this is THE movie about trust!! even as you’re watching it you’re never totally sure if they will actually cross that line
would be better if they all just became a polycule

Gosh VS is such an amazing loving husband but he made me so mad. Although him and whitey never PHYSICALLY got together they definitely had chemistry that EVERYONE seemed to noticed but they didn’t wanna acknowledge it towards the end in the hotel room.
Although whitey made me mad bc at the end of the day she knew he was married but i respect that she stood down after she realized the severity of the situation.
It was a good watch but I do not condone micro cheating

Oh Dave… I would’ve picked you over every guy I’ve ever met. I’d never leave you waiting for three days. I’d go skating with you even if I snapped both ankles. I’d answer your calls before they even ring. I’d be your wife, your secretary, your biggest fan, your emotional support human. I’d care for you, love you, cherish you, protect you, spoil you, hold your hand through life’s nonsense. I’d remind you every day how adored you are. I’d literally nurture your soul and kiss your forehead like it’s a full-time job. I’d organize your files and your feelings. I’d write love letters to myself pretending they’re from you just to feel extra grateful. I'm sorry clark, I know u sexy, but im comming home to my Jimmy 😻
