Sinopsis: Adam quiere conseguir un buen periodístico a toda costa, para ello tendrá que lidiar con un malvado editor y superar los problemas con las mujeres que le tocará vivir en breve (Alpacine).
Young and conscientious Adam White has aspirations to write for the Chronicle newspaper. He gets his wish after meeting the newspaper's editor Bill Shrike, who offers Adam a position. It's not quite what Adam had envisioned as he is given the assignment of writing the 6 day per week, 1,000 words per edition Miss Lonelyhearts advice column. Bill has ulterior motives for offering Adam this job which concerns in part Bill's unhappy wife, Florence. Initially, Adam treats the assignment with disdain until he starts reading the sound of desperation in some of the incoming letters. Wanting to do right by those letter writers takes its toll on Adam, and in turn on his relationship with his girlfriend, Justy Sargeant. Bill, who wants Adam to write a more entertaining column, suggests that Adam actually meet one of the letter writers so that he can get a better perspective on the job. After meeting with Fay Doyle, one of those letter writers, and comes to understand her true story compared to what she actually wrote, Adam reflects further on the job, especially in relation to what he considers his dark past which he is trying to hide from Justy and himself (IMDb).
For his film directorial debut, producer Dore Schary selected a longtime pet property: Miss Lonelyhearts, Nathaniel West's trenchant 1933 novel. Montgomery Clift delivers a haunting performance as journalist Adam White, assigned by his cynical editor Adam Shrike (Robert Ryan) to take over a newspaper advice column. Signing himself Miss Lonelyhearts, White is appalled by the human misery pouring out of the letters sent to him (one of his correspndents was born without a nose), but Shrike insists that anyone who'd write to such a column is fake. To find out for himself, White looks up one of the correspondents, unhappily married Fay Doyle (Oscar-nominated Maureen Stapleton). His pity for the seriously disturbed Fay nearly leads to tragedy (in the novel, there's no "nearly"). Meanwhile, Shrike tries to contend with his own tottering marriage to his wife Florence (Myrna Loy). In additional to shortening the title to Lonelyhearts, Dore Schary made a number of radical changes in the original, adding an overabundance of "meaningful" dialogue and softening the character of Florence Shrike. Purists were enraged by Schary's liberties, while critics carped at his perfunctory direction; audiences, however, seemed to like the film (All Movie Guide).
