Socialite Gene Tierney marries working class man John Lund, much to the chagrin of her snooty mother and other friends. Their marriage seems to be working though, especially with the help of maid Thelma Ritter, really Lund's mother but afraid to tell her lest she reveal their slum past. Of course it all comes out in the end and almost ruins their marriage. Entertaining melodramatics with a dark tone belying its snappy theme song and title which might lead one to believe it's a comedy.
