Four Star Playhouse My Wife Geraldine (1952–1956) watch online HD

This episode of 'Four Star Playhouse' series is one of Charles Boyer's masterpieces on the small screen. He displays the character of Mr. Graham, a lonely man living with an imaginary wife. He invents the lie to get a job, but gradually, he begins to withdraw into his illusions. I like the character of Rose (Una Merkel) the landlady because she is so kind and understanding. There is also a wonderful comic touch in some situations adding a cheerful atmosphere to the episode.

This first class drama is remarkably written by Lawrence B. Marcus and brilliantly directed by Robert Florey. The idea may seem odd and unusual but Boyer's inimitable performance, with the deep passion in his eyes and his resonant voice, amazingly turns the whole story into something quite touching, credible and convincing.

"My Wife Geraldine" is a very well acted episode of "Four Star Playhouse" that stars Charles Boyer. I did enjoy the show quite a bit but I also found the ending a bit disappointing.

The show begins with Mr. Graham telling his landlady (Una Merkle) about his 'wife'. It seems he was out of work and having trouble finding a job. However, Mr. Martin (Porter Hall) is happy to give him a job but also seems interested in hiring only happily married men. So, Graham made up a wife and went to great lengths to make it look like he had one. This worked for a while, but when folks insisted on meeting her, it got crazy. Since he didn't have one, folks started thinking maybe he'd done something to her! How he works it out is for you to discover...or not.

I generally liked this show. The three main actors were all quite good. The ending, however, seemed sappy and made you wonder if Mr. Graham was just nuts! Disappointing when seen as a whole.
