Silent Night, Lonely Night (1969)
A quiet rather intense story

This is a slow-moving and gently philosophical film (see Plot Synopsis) about the subject of marriage, suitable chiefly for adults. It's a bit sad, but not really a tear-jerker, in my opinion. For its day, I think it has quite a bit of depth regarding commentary on marriage and sexual temptation. In the old-fashioned style of movies, nothing overtly sexual is shown, but those scenes are very striking and tenderly suggestive. I liked it quite a bit, and it also taught me something about fidelity, too (as another poster said). Its ending is not predictable but consonant with the characters' struggles and the film's attempt to address the underlying issues.
