...Complaisant Lover (by Graham Greene) contends that love and marriage do not mix, but that husbands and lovers can be good mixers. The husband in this diverting trinomial theorem is a dentist (Michael Redgrave) who has drifted out of the sex habit. The lover (Richard Johnson) is a bookshop owner who collects other men's wives like first editions. The wife (Googie Withers) is a happy mother of two who embarks on an illicit affair with the booksy chap to balance her emotional diet...

The town is peopled by rounded, well-realized, three-dimensional clichés with names like Widow Ruskin and Cousin Martin, played by actors steeped in basic quaintsmanship.
