On the eve of her wedding a young woman witnesses the murder of her fiancée which sends her into a downward spiral, she enters into a marriage of convenience truthfully telling the man, Frank Morgan who is excellent as usual, that she's not in love with him and if he can deal with that she'll be his wife. They settle into a contented existence until she falls for a man she can't see is a bounder and prepares to leave until circumstances throw a wrench into those plans.
Purportly based on a Willa Cather story this ordinary quickie drama shares the story's title and only the most tenuous relation to the actual original tale.
A chronicle of selfless and unrequited love this is redeemed by its stars. At this point Barbara "Missy" Stanwyck was an established star but she was plugging away in forgettable programmers with an occasional gem mixed in, this is not one of those gems but her magnetism makes it palatable.
Nothing that you haven't seen before but if you're a fan of either star this is a pleasant time passer although Stanwyck is dressed in some truly hideous outfits and unflattering hairstyles.
