“A Letter To Three Wives”: Perfection
We all (quite rightly) salute the unmatched sophistication of Joseph Mankiewicz’s “All About Eve,” released in 1950. It, unfortunately, overshadows the director/writer’s picture of the previous year, “A Letter to Three Wives.” If you’ve never seen it, the best format is the Blu-Ray restoration, which is superb. Linda Darnell, Ann Southern, and the voice of Celestial Holm never sounded so good.
