Visualizing the convergence of Raymond Cannon's style and the core Comedy narrative.
Charles Cook, a husband with a multi-year itch, decides he will go out and whoop it up with the boys, but tells his wife it is a business meeting. His helpful friend Jack Scott introduces him to a very pretty--and shapely--Miss Scott, whose stock-in-trade is understanding misunderstood husbands, and she is very good at it. Charles enjoys being one of the boys and schedules more business meetings. Meanwhile, his wife Alice is at home wishing her husband didn't have to go to so many business meetings.
Decades after its release, Red Wine remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Raymond Cannon's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
