William Wyler’s worldly drama charts the dissolution of a 20-year union between an aging automobile magnate and his vain, discontented wife during a long European excursion. Walter Huston carries himself with princely dignity as the titular tycoon whose instinctive loyalty is strained to the breaking point. His personal transformation poignantly reflects the high spiritual stakes of conjugal commitment.
