Four couples in a community of look-alike houses. On the outside they seem attractive and up-and-coming. Inside they are in bad shape.
Tony Randall and Sheree North are one unlikely couple. To be honest, keeping tack of all the couples was a bit difficult. The characters were not well differentiated.
The most interesting is Joanne Woodward and Cameron Mitchell. He is a very angry person. Mitchell looks uncharacteristically beefy and brawny but his performance is excellent. He does a pretty terrible thing, which has repercussions for many in the community.
Many of the performers did far more interesting work elsewhere. Pat Hingle, one of the husbands, for example. But the characters and characterization are as generic as the houses.
(I was interested, as a total aside, to note that all the houses seemed to have paintings on their walls. This seemed unlikely.) Mitchell and Woodward stand out, though. And their story is truly moving.
