GOD Burt Lancaster plays a man who has had some kind of break with reality and decides to deal with his midcentury, suburban, masculine ennui by taking a dip in every one of his neighbor's swimming pools on the way home. Based on a story by John Cheever, this movie is one of the first mainstream depictions of the condition that would later become known as "Don Draper Syndrome." This ailment can affect any extremely handsome, wealthy, and successful middle-aged American man who constantly cheats on their wife and is also an advanced alcoholic. Despite being cool, victims of this disorder begin to feel like their life is a meaningless, empty fraud for some reason.
