Nasty, conniving Paulette Goddard lies and schemes and tricks wealthy lawyer Ray Milland into marrying her. Will do anything to subvert her "competition," Virginia Field (prettier, better-dressed, doesn't lie or cheat -- unlike our "heroine"(?). Goddard gleefully (desperately) goes so far as to recommend that the other woman (threaten to) kill herself. Her malice nearly backfires on her intended (victim). Clearly the writers had a low opinion of women. Before the halfway mark I was rooting for the blonde.
Milland is suave and handsome, much like Wm Powell, in this effort. Field is cool and looks FABULOUS in the Edith Head designs, Wm Bendix lightens the mix with his friendly and likable face.
Gladys George is the real standout -- the film only comes alive when she's on screen.
