The Bigamist.

An amazingly sympathetic portrait of a figure historically given very short shrift: the title character is not only a two-timer-he's a traveling salesman as well. But, as embodied by that perpetually pressured everyman of the 1950s, Edmond O'Brien, the bigamist comes across as a victim of his own se...
