Jimmy (Richard burton) is angry. He is married to a pretty dull blonde and he is friends with a noncombative passive sort of fellow. his wife is pregnant and he doesn't know. he sells candies, though he has a college education. his wife burns herself on an iron when jimmy knocks it over. jimmy has a soft heart for a woman who is motherlike towards him when she visits town. later she dies. the dull blonde invites her friend, claire bloom to visit. jimmy and she argue. jimmy is a trumpet player and he plays loudly in order to tell us he's angry. jimmy and his friend interrupt a rehearsal where claire bloom is on stage and they make havoc of it. the blonde is sick of jimmy beating up on her emotionally and so eventually she leaves town. claire bloom falls in love with jimmy. turns out the friend doesn't like claire bloom and so he decides to leave town. then jimmy's wife shows up. she has lost the baby (and the ability to have kids). now that she is a sufferer she and jimmy can get along together.
tortuous to watch.
