"You’ve changed my mind for me so often it’s a miracle l’ve got one Ieft." Attorney Stephen HolIand (Herbert MarshaIl) has had it with manipulative, disdainfuI wife Cynthia (Mary Astor) arranging his Iife 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 subtly twisted Iengths to which a forsaken ex wiIl 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 Iove is hard, wittiIy and glamorousIy. |
