Married Life (2007)

In the post-war haze of 1949, the seemingly idyllic marriage of executive Harry Allen and his wife Pat is cast into the spotlight. Radiating contentment, their union serves as a beacon of marital bliss. However, one fateful day, the façade shatters when Harry confesses to his bachelor friend, Richard Langley, that his heart now beats for the enigmatic widow, Kay Nesbitt. Harry, torn between his duty and desires, fears the shattering blow a divorce would deal Pat. His quandary deepens when the alluring Kay joins them for lunch, ensnaring Richard in her captivating web. Richard, now bewitched, discovers Pat's clandestine love affair with an unknown suitor. This revelation tugs him into a moral maelstrom; should he risk losing Kay and reveal the truth to his friend, or maintain the silence and chase his burgeoning infatuation? Meanwhile, Harry contemplates a dark solution to his marital woes. Believing poison to be a more merciful end than the heartache of divorce, he plots Pat's demise, weaving a toxic plan into the everyday mundanity of her antiacid medication. As Richard's clandestine courtship of Kay intensifies, Harry's plan takes a tragic turn when Kay abruptly ends their affair. In the compelling drama of Married Life, secrets simmer and loyalties are tested as Harry grapples with the loss of his mistress, his confidante, and potentially his wife. As the narrative unfolds, the question lingers: will murder find its way into the light, tearing apart the intricate web of deceit and passion?
