Unrealistic that a woman would choose Robert Young over Errol Flynn, even though Flynn is supposedly a cold hearted jerk. Seems to me the other way around in the scenes between Flynn and Garson after they are married. He seems to be in love and the neglected husband. He tries his best to get her to respond but she's just not interested. It's Errol Flynn, FFS! Would have needed Robert Taylor or Tyrone Power in Young's part to make this plausible. Truthfully, I'm writing this after only halfway through the movie but I'm just not buying it yet.
Ok, movies over and I stand by my review. To me Flynn was the sympathetic character and Garson the cold hearted wife. Maybe in the original story his character was an ogre but in this movie he's still the most appealing of the 3 men, and would have been more so with a little more enthusiasm from his wife. He was willing to be the perfect husband but she was too stupid to see it. The movie in itself is nice to look at and the performances are fine but I can't get past this.
