Featured Comments/Tips
A little melodramatic for my taste, but Grant 'amp; Lombard are wonderful, and Francis steals the picture as the cold, grasping social climber who refuses to let loose of her golden goose.
This movie is a tear jerker. Love outside a marriage that only exists for money and status. Carole Lombard is a great actress and a great fit fit Cary Grant. Sad movie as happiness is dependant on a wife in a loveless marriage. Thank you TCM for this little gem.

Kay Francis is actually quite nasty and certainly steals the limelight in this gentle, sightly plodding, dark melodrama about a wealthy man (Cary Grant) who falls for her charms not realising that all she ever really wanted was his cash. Meantime he has fallen in love with "Julie Eden" (Carole Lombard) and we embark on a sort of emotional drama of deceit and divorce. It has some comical elements and the three stars along with the occasional contributions from Charles Coburn keep it going. It's all a bit of a soap-opera, but worth watching, though..
