Storyline:[A record of sorts, it was thefirstUS feature film to show a bathroom with a toilet bowl.]With a novice actor (James Murray) in the lead role, he film was simply a realistic, bittersweet drama of the existence of an ordinary common and average American (an Everyman prototype embodied in a white-collar worker) trying to make it with his wife in the monolithic big city - but without any maudlin sentimentality, extreme passion, exploitation of romance, or escapist melodrama.Wimmer fled, he was impaled through the torso with the metal noose pole thrown like a javelin(# 6 death).He arrived just in time to save Elizabeth (with the medallion around her neck, emitting a pulse in the water) who had fainted and fallen into the ocean after the promotion ceremony." The date meter moved backwards when the shock-wave hit their ship: "We have returned to Earth nearly 2,000 years before its destruction.Both the play and film were true to the novel.The theme was the age-old conflict between love and money (represented by social class).It featured an icy and haunting musical score from Aaron Copland, and costumes by Edith Head.Almost the entire historical melodrama took place on set in the austere Washington Square Victorian house (in New York City""s Greenwich Village), reflecting the film""s roots on the stage.
