Reviews for The Two Mrs. Carrolls

Review - Two Mrs. Carrolls, The

I've never really understood the appeal of this sort of movie as entertainment. Isn't the world sad and sick enough without wallowing in it unnecessarily. In this movie, all of the characters seemed more like parodies than actual people.
