Married Life
Married Life surfs a fine line between the comic and the tragic that is uncomfortable to acknowledge.
But humor definitely wins out in the end, leaving us with an ironic but optimistic view of the flaws that increasingly populate our public and private lives as we grow older.
Cooper and Brosnan achieve a fascinatingly contradictory friendship between two men that is unlike any other I’ve seen on screen in a long time.
Set in 1949, the story opens into a picturesque, affluent suburb where Harry Allen resides with his wife, Pat.
There’s trouble brewing beyond the perfect picket fences.
Harry has fallen deeply in love with a blonde beauty named Kay (Rachel McAdams).
He confesses his secret to his longtime bachelor friend, Richard (Pierce Brosnan), and even introduces Richard to the lovely Kay.
Unfortunately for Harry, Richard is instantly smitten, and makes up his mind that he will do whatever it takes to win Kay for himself.

A 1940s-set drama where an adulterous man plots his wife’s death instead of putting her through the humiliation of a divorce.
Goofs
- Anachronisms: Richard Langley sees the film Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) in a movie theater in 1949, two years before movie’s release. (maybe it was a download ;))
- Factual errors: Harry attempts to call home from a Restaurant; instead of getting a connection or a busy signal, he get’s an “out-of-order” chirp. He dials “O” and tells the Operator that his home phone is O.O.O., he gives her a five digit number, then looks in the phone book and finds his next-door neighbor who of course has the traditional “Waddington 1234″ number” used in 1949.
- Revealing mistakes: When Richard surprises Pat and Tom on the sofa, it is totally dark outside, but later that evening after he freshens himself up upstairs, the clock just says a quarter past eight. And it’s not winter, because the trees are green.
