Breezy banter, elegant clothes, and a sparkling cast are highlights of this witty look at a liberated woman navigating the ins and outs of modern marriage. As her fifth wedding anniversary approaches, Lydia Kenyon (Claudette Colbert) realizes that she is fed up with always coming in second to her husband’s (Ray Milland) advertising business. Just as she begins contemplating divorce, Lydia meets a handsome attorney (Brian Aherne), and their innocent flirtation quickly turns into something more.
