いまいちな回答だなああ。

刑事コロンボの死者の身代金の場面でこんなシーンがある。

Columbo (TV Series)

Ransom for a Dead Man

 

 Lt. Columbo : Eh, say, eh, you know I have this cousin Ralph, eh, his name is Ralph. Eh, anyway eh, Ralph was the greatest at everything. You know I mean he thought better, he talked better, he made out better. Ralph was the greatest. I mean Ralph, boy, that Ralph was something, I'll tell you that. I'll never forget him.

Leslie Williams : Eh, is there a point to this story, Lieutenant?

Lt. Columbo : A point?

Leslie Williams : A point.

Lt. Columbo : No, I don't think there's a point, except... well maybe, you know maybe what it was, is that when you were talking about your husband in the plane, I guess that reminded me of Ralph. You see, because Ralph, he was a bore. I mean he was so perfect, there were times I felt like killing him.

なんでも出来すぎて、殺したくなるほど退屈な従兄弟 ラルフの話。

Why do married men cheat with ugly women?

これもなんかの映画でみたことがあったと思うのだが、美人、ないし、よくできた妻がいるのに不美人の女と浮気する夫。

シュワルツェネッガーやチャールス王子などが思い浮かぶ。

・・・・・ここらへん人間の複雑さというか、合理的に割り切れない、というか・・・・面白いところなんだけどね・・・・

　割り切れない残りの部分の心理を解き明かしてもらいたかったな、小説家には。
