****
[A]: On a brief trip back to London, earnest, bookish bacteriologist Walter Fane (Edward Norton) is dazzled by Kitty Garstin (Naomi Watts), a vivacious and vain London socialite. He proposes; she accepts ("only to get as far away from [her] mother as possible"), and the couple honeymoon in Venice. They travel on to Walter's medical post in Shanghai, where he is stationed in a government lab studying infectious diseases. They find themselves ill-suited, with Kitty much more interested in parties and the social life of the British expatriates.Kitty meets Charles Townsend (Liev Schreiber), a married British vice consul, and the two engage in a clandestine affair. When Walter discovers his wife's infidelity, he seeks to punish her by threatening to divorce her on the grounds of adultery, if she doesn't accompany him to a small village in a remote area of China. He has volunteered to treat victims of an unchecked cholera epidemic sweeping through the area. Kitty begs to be allowed to divorce him quietly, but he refuses, stating "Why should I put myself through the smallest trouble for you?" She hopes Townsend will leave his wife Dorothy and marry her. When she proposes this possibility to Charles, he declines to accept, despite earlier claiming to love Kitty.She is compelled to travel to the mountainous inland region with her husband. They embark upon an arduous, two-week-long overland journey, which would be considerably faster and much easier if they traveled by river, but Walter is determined to make Kitty as unhappy and uncomfortable as possible. Upon their arrival in Mei-tan-fu, she is distressed to discover they will be living in near squalor, far removed from everyone except their cheerful neighbor Waddington, a British deputy commissioner living with a young Chinese woman in relative opulence.Walter and Kitty barely speak to each other and, except for a cook and a Chinese soldier assigned to guard her, she is alone for long hours. After visiting an orphanage run by a group of French nuns, Kitty volunteers...

[A]: We open with a fight at Rockdale High School. A crowd of onlookers quickly gathers. Tony Rivers (Michael Landon) and Jimmy (Tony Marshall) are trading blows. As Jimmy seems to be gaining the upper hand, Tony throws dirt in his face, temporarily blinding him. The police arrive and the crowd quickly disperses. Detective Donovan (Barney Phillips) cleans Jimmy up, then has a chat with both. He makes them shake hands, and Jimmy walks off. Donovan tries to talk some sense into Tony, but he refuses help. This isn't the first scrape that Tony has had that involved the police. Donovan suggests professional help, but this only infuriates Tony. Tony saunters over to see his girl, Arlene (Yvonne Lime), who waited for him. He takes her home in his car.Tony arrives home to find his Dad (Malcolm Atterbury) packing his lunch for work. Dad tries to convince his son that things would go better if he would just go along with people. That evening Tony arrives to pick up Arlene at her house. He honks the horn. This behavior reinforces for Arlene's parents, Bill Logan (S. John Launer) and Mary (Dorothy Crehan) that Tony is unsuitable for their daughter. They insist that Tony come in to the house to call on their daughter properly. They have a little chat with Tony, who is surly and petulant. Before they get in the car, Arlene insists that Tony see the doctor that Detective Donovan recommended--Dr. Brandon. Tony objects and refuses. The Halloween party is already under way at the clubhouse Tony was able to procure. We meet the rest of their clique. There's Frank (Michael Rougas) who arrived without a date, Vic (Ken Miller) the bongo player, and his girlfriend Pearl (Cynthia Chenault), who is dressed like a clown because she thought it was a costume party.
