Synopsis

The title character is Edmond O'Brien, a lonely travelling salesman who ends up married to two women, Eve (Joan Fontaine)--and Phyllis (Ida Lupino). Eventually, of course, the truth comes out. Directed by costar Ida Lupino, The Bigamist manages to evoke a certain amount of sympathy for Edmond O'Brien, without in any way advocating or excusing his lifestyle. It's worth noting that an Italian film made around the same time, also titled The Bigamist, is a comedy.

Lauer rapped for remarks during interview with bigamist
A Salt Lake City newspaper columnist has sharply rapped Today show host Matt Lauer for his handling of an interview with Utah bigamist Tom Green on Monday's telecast. Scott Pierce, the TV writer for the Deseret News, particularly objected to Lauer's description of Green as a Mormon from Utah. "Even the most cursory research would have told the interviewer that polygamy was outlawed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1890 and that Green had been excommunicated by the 'Mormon' church," Pierce wrote.
