Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak star in this melodrama of romance and infidelity.
Larry Coe and Maggie Gault don't receive any attention from their respective spouses. Larry's wife is too concerned with trivial family matters, and Maggie's marriage simply lacks passion. So these two disenchanted suburbanites find romance in each other. Then one lascivious, nosy neighbor -- having spied on the lovebirds -- decides to join in the fun, and makes a move on Larry's wife. The unsettling news makes the lovers reassess their affair.
