The town socialite and golden girl, Addie Ross, sends a letter to three wives telling them she has run off with one of their husbands. They are chaperoning a children's boat trip and cannot do anything to verify this information. Each wife recalls in flashback their relationship with their husbands and their husbands' comments regarding Addie. A fascinating movie about how we take those we love for granted. Each wife recognizes how precious their relationship is because now it may be over. They think back on what they could have said or could have done to prevent their husband from running off with Addie. And, they all recognize that each man has been given love and attention by Addie, and they all adore her. The tension mounts to a surprise ending. A very quiet, character development type of movie. The action is all internal, as well as the tension. See how each wife reacts as she races home to see if her husband is there. A fine movie with plenty of comic relief and tremendous acting by all included. A truly fascinating script. An ideal movie for those who have been married a few years.
