A man reflects on his staid life after a former love reappears. They are Robert Young and Hedy Lamarr, in one of her best performances: she really does seem like a capable, single, NYC ad agency worker, who's refreshingly shown in a position of power over other male colleagues.
Interesting uses of sound by silent director Vidor, such as when he tries to read a letter from her but is continually interrupted by employees.
The wife is Ruth Hussey (The Uninvited). With Charles Coburn, Van Heflin, Fay Holden, Bonita Granville, Douglas Wood, Charles Halton, Leif Erikson, Sara Haden.
