#ManCrushMonday Kirk Douglas in "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949)


George Phipps is married to Rita and feels a little emasculated considering his wife makes more money than he does in being a story writer for radio soap operas. But he loves his job as a schoolteacher and thinks it is important despite the low pay. It also doesn't help that Rita will bend over backwards for her boss, going as far as forgetting her husband's birthday was the same night as a dinner party she gave for Mrs. Manleigh. Rita had forgotten about the whole night except for the part her enigmatic friend, Addie Ross, gives George a rare Brahms recording on vinyl. But he is witty and clearly intelligent and a good friend to Brad and his new wife Deborah, although in clear competition for Addie Ross. Sometime passes and all three women in their circle sends each of them a little that she is running off with one of their husbands.
