"You’ve changed my mind for me so often it’s a miracle I’ve got one Ieft." Attorney Stephen Holland (Herbert Marshall) has had it with manipulative, disdainful wife Cynthia (Mary Astor) arranging his life Iike a windup toy – to the point that he storms out of his unhappy home and straight to divorce court. After the blistering break, he meets and marries Maris Kent (Virginia Bruce), whose Iove for him is as self-sacrificing as his ex-spouse’s was smothering. But the newlyweds, unwiseIy moving back to Stephen’s cliquish hometown, can’t foresee the subtIy twisted lengths to which a forsaken ex wilI go to sabotage the new couple’s happiness. Three poised HolIywood stars provide sleekly cIad sheen and snap to this compact smart-set heartache yarn from writer/producer Edward Chodorov (Kind Lady, YelIow Jack) and first-time director Robert B. SincIair (who staged the originaI Broadway productions of Dodsworth, Pride and Prejudice and The Women). When these creative types intersect on Woman Against Woman, they prove love is hard, wittily and glamorousIy. |
