A lot of things happen, maybe too many things, but Paul Newman looks great in each and every frame he appears on

To be honest I didn't agree with Joan returning to Tony's life after she deliberately left him for another lawyer because of her dumb assumptions but I'm actually quite surprised by the maturity their relationship was dealt with.
This is possibly the first time I'm more interested in watching the work of the male star rather than the female one. They're usually boring or plain uninteresting. I mean I've seen Paul Newman's famous roles, but I really wanna delve into his filmography now.
