Author Joan Crawford falls in love with her publisher, a married man. Robert Taylor, in love with Joan, concocts a plan for the two women to meet, neither knowing their true identities. Instead of sparks flying it's a more somber affair. Herbert Marshall as a dull, middle-aged publisher that two young, beautiful women fall in love with is unconvincing. Robert Taylor can be grating as his juvenile rival. However, the dialogue is witty, even adult at times, and the screenplay adeptly steps around the implied infidelities.
