Ronald Colman offers up some thick slices of ham while Kay Francis models the latest frocks in this mawkishly delicate tale of infidelity in which both are so proper about everything.
When British barrister James Warlock's wife Clemency goes off on extended vacation he is cajoled by dirty old man charmer (James Stephenson) to go on the town. There he meets shop girl Doris and an affair ensues with Warlock uneasy but willing about it. It ends badly and a large scandal ensues.
Told in flashback Vidor does an exquisite job of photographing the stars whose strident regret while "Being British" is cringeworthy at times. The happy ending in light of the tragic outcome simply rings hollow, the chemistry between the stars, junk science.
