A Guide for the Married Man
Paul Manning discovers one day that his dear friend and neighbor Ed Stander has been cheating on his wife. Curious, he asks Ed about it, and is given the history and tactics of men who have successfully committed adultery. With each new story, Paul cannot help noticing the attractive blonde, Irma Johnson, who lives nearby. Paul gets close to cheating on his wife, Ruth, but he never quite goes through with it. In a scene near the end of the movie he is finally in a motel room with another woman, a wealthy divorced client. Paul hears shouting outside and when he looks out the window he sees photographers taking pictures of his friend Ed in bed with Mrs. Johnson. Paul takes this opportunity to flee the scene and run home to his beloved wife.
