Mr. Howgill wants a divorce from his wife. When she refuses to give him one, he hires a private eye to follow her in hope of finding evidence of adultery.
"A Secret Life" Dir. by Don Weis
James Howgill is bored with his life and his marriage and announces to his wife that he is leaving her. She tells him to do what he likes but that she will never grant him a divorce. In time, he takes up with an attractive young woman and decides to try to force the divorce issue with his wife. His lawyer however informs him that he has no grounds for a divorce and suggests that he hire a private detective to see if his wife may have taken up with another man. He agrees but is quite sure that it is not in his wife's character to carry on. Needless to say, he is astounded when the detective reports that his wife is dating and that a man has spent the night in their house. Howgill begins to see his wife in a new light and decides he wants her back. But just who is this woman that he has returned to?

I hate to mention this but since it’s a living subject might as well use it as solid proof that sometimes it does work for the right reasons. Ethan Hawke left Uma Thurman for the nanny and they married and he’s had more kids… still married. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I felt sorry for Uma because she’s a sweetheart but I guess sweethearts like her don’t get appreciated enough by men like her fo rmer husband.

That coat was probably over a thousand bucks even then! A friend gave me a beautiful faux fur "fox" coat similar to that, but I'm almost afraid to wear it because it looks too real! I live in S. California, folks who wear real fur get piss and paint thrown on them. I think it was after an unpleasant "encounter" with an activist that she decided to give the coat to me. I don't go anywhere "fancy", so I only wear it visiting friends.

@McIntyreBible 4 года назад

Stevie no it hasn’t guy, you’d better go back in time to see that the word “gay” was normally used to mean ‘merry, lively, vibrant,happy, etc”. (Websters Dictionary) Even in this Hitchcock episode it’s used that way, and this was produced around 1959. It’s only in the 1970’s did this biblical word take on the licentious, perverted meaning that it is known by today!

@@sillygoose635 "Now we don our gay apparel -- Fa la la, fa la la, la la la." Yes, I'm sure that old traditional Christmas carol is referring to people dressing up in flamboyant attire. from Wikipedia: Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "cheerful", or "bright and showy". The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the mid-20th century. So, Stevie, I think YOU are the one who should "go back to your perverted, superfluous nonsense."

@songbirdy 4 года назад

john gillon I don't think this series is yet public domain. Some say it is but from what I can tell it isn't and there is only one episode that is. A new law went into effect in 1978 where tv could extend their copyright for 47 years which makes it public domain in 2025. It's what I got from my quick research but I'm definitely not an expert on this. But it makes no sense why this channel would go to trouble of editing if law allowed the full length to be shown for free. And this channel from I can tell keeps it down to under 13 minutes which is what I've noticed people who post copyrighted material often do...I'm not an uploader so I'm just trying to figure it out myself too. Not sure why the channel doesn't defend actions with all the comments they get about it. Perhaps it's too much trouble now and they didn't know they would get the negative comments.

I basically think no one deserves to have a cheating spouse. Trust is like a crystal glass that once it’s broken,it’s hard to fix them.. That’s why it’s important to apply wisdom when dealing with our partners... Last week I suspected my husband cheating on me, a friend recommended a hacker to me I contacted him and he helped me get cheating proves by helping me hack his phone giving me full access to everything he does on his phone... I got access to all his phone call logs, Text messages, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Kik, Emails, Social media chats (both old and new) without looking at his phone... if you suspect your spouse cheating on you, just contact this great hacker via text/whatsapp or call him ‪+1 (908) 799‑8357‬ , or via mail (cyberprohack100@gmail.com). His services are very trusted and guaranteed and also affordable, I can’t thank him enough. I hope you find peace of mind just like I have found after discovering the truth As the saying goes,what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Sweet. As a friend pointed out, this illustrates psychoanalyst Lacan's "lost object A". "The objet a is both the void, the gap, and whatever object momentarily comes to fill that gap in our symbolic reality. What is important to keep in mind here is that the objet a is not the object itself but the function of masking the lack."
