It would be very improbable for a married couple to represent opposite sides of a criminal case.]The film""s title was a clear reference to the Genesis story of Adam and Eve (the male film lead was named Adam).The body of Loco rolled onto Ali when he looked up into the hayloft, crashing them both to the barn floor.She wisely refused, arguing hat he was too subservient to his mother""s demands and wishes:I don""t want you to marry me because you feel sorry for me.The dreamy, old-time scene of the splendid, bygone era has nothing to do, it only seems, with the drama to follow, until Charlie Oakley""s crimes are later revealed.The time period of the provocative, sophisticated film is set in the early 50s during the height of right-wing McCarthyism - a time of tense political paranoia with the overriding, reactionary fear that Communists (Russian and Chinese) were scheming to take over the US via advanced brainwashing techniques and programmed terrorist raining.
