Dennis Morgan, Janis Paige, Don DeFore and Alan Hale, Jr. star this musical tale of a man driven by jealousy and a lust for vengeance who learns in the nick of time to appreciate the life he has--One Sunday Afternoon. Small town dentist Biff Grimes (Morgan--Christmas in Connecticut) has devoted his life to avenging himself against Hugo Barnstead (DeFore--The Male Animal), who was instrumental in Grimes' conviction and prison sentence for fraud, then married the woman Grimes has always loved, Amy Lind (Dorothy Malone--The Big Sleep). Although the woman Grimes married, Virginia (Paige--Silk Stalkings), insead of Amy loves him unconditionally, Grimes weaves a plot to destroy Barnstead's life. Now, will Grimes realize that his life has turned out better by marrying Virginia instead of Amy, or will he carry out his plan to destroy Barnstead--and destroy his own life as well?
