Year Zero in a divided Germany. With his father too ill to work his soldier brother terrified of being arrested as a war criminal and his sister reduced to cadging cigarettes from occupying troops 12 year old Edmund scours Berlin for any work he can find. However a meeting with his disgraced teacher who still clings to his Nazi ideals suggests a hideous solution to his problems. Completeing the war trilogy that Roberto Rossellini started with Rome Open City and Paisa this is one of the masterpieces of neo-realism. Unflinchingly depicting the dehumanising impact of defeat on a guilt-ridden nation this harrowing study of social disintegration is held together by an exeptional performance by Edmund Moeschke a circus hand who had never acted before and was chosen because he resembled Rossellini's recently deceased son Romano to whom the film is dedicated.
The Bigamist goes where no movie has gone before; it gives us a bigamist as the central character and manages to make us sympathise with his plight. Harry Graham is a salesman who longs to spend time with his wife played by Joan Fontaine but she's a workaholic businesswoman who rarely finds time in her schedule for her husband. While on a sales trip Graham befriends a waitress played by Ida Lupino and as friendship turns to love Graham calls and teases wife about meeting another woman; we see a quick flash of fear in her eyes but then she immediately changes the conversation in a fake chirpy tone and pretends nothing bothers her. The well-detailed characters bring the drama of The Bigamist to life. The waitress is a tough but compassionate character much more full of life than Fontaine's Eisenhower era wife. Significantly we also discover that the waitress is much more fertile than Fontaine - who cannot bear children. This subtle critique of '50s families and the sterility of home life when business becomes more important than family communication makes The Bigamist just as relevant today as when it was made in 1953.
