Journalist Jimmie Lee is in love with author Mary Howard, but Mary's in love with her married publisher, Rogers Woodruff. Mary's new book follows the plot of her own life and she tries to convince everyone (including herself) that the wife and the other woman can come to a mutual agreement on civilized terms. When Jimmie arranges for the two women to meet in real life, each one not knowing who the other is, things turn out a little different than Mary expected. Superb, witty dialogue and great performances all-around, with Alice Brady and Ann Harding stand-outs.
