This films airs often during a run of Crawford's films like tonight. The basic story is Joan's character (Mary) is an author is having an affair with her publisher Herbert Marshall (Rogers Woodruff). She considers Robert Taylor (Jimmie} her good friend but he loves her. He thinks she'sthrowing her life away with the relationship.

Jimmy also leaves a fake message for the publisher keeping him in town for awhile. In the meantime a thunderstorm comes up and the hostess invites Jimmie & Claire to stay the night along with her other guests. The woman bond during a discussion of Mary's book about a married man in love with another woman. Ultimetly the wife realizes Mary's lover is her husband when Mary says his name. Then Rogers shows up and Claire realizes what Jimmy did and tells her husband Mary had no idea who she was.

This film is a remake of a 1933 film with the same title which starred Myrna Loy in the Joan Crawford role.

That converted farmhouse was absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to have a weekend house furnished that way. I also thought the ladies costumes were fabulous. They stand the test of time. I could see myself wearing Garson's outfit she had on at the house. I'm not a fan of the hats Joan wore though.
