The Bigamist Overview:
The Bigamist (1953) was a Drama - Black-and-white Film directed by Ida Lupino and produced by Collier Young and Robert Eggenweiler.
SYNOPSIS
A salesman marries a wealthy woman (Fontaine) from a blue-blooded L.A. family and a street-smart waitress in a San Francisco Chinese restaurant. Driven to this agonizing extreme more by his big heart than lust, the bigamist strains to keep his double life a secret from the women he truly loves. Curiously nonjudgmental, particularly as it's directed by a woman, Lupino (it's also the only production in which she directed herself).
