I suppose basing a movie on lyrics of popular song is not unique or even a bad idea. The song "Torn Between Two Lovers" is not clear whether the woman telling the story is married to either of them but in this movie, she is, and so it is a little misleading to refer to a husband simply as a lover since there is a lot more than just two people shacking up. A movie based on three unmarried people probably would be a bore, though to me it sounds like that what the song was about, and any man worth his salt would just get up leave this two-timer. Trouble in the movie is that Lee Remick's character doesn't come across as that evil type of person, just caught up in something. The weird thing is that she seemed to have better chemistry with her paramour than with her husband, and the movie doesn't really try to convince you otherwise.
