Mary Donnell was married at sixteen to a gangster and soon widowed. She works for unhappily married lawyer Lloyd Rogers. A client's son Jack elopes with her, but his father tracks them down and has the marriage annulled. Mary has a son. Unaware of this, the father remarries; his new wife is crippled in an auto accident. The lawyer, now dying, tells Mary he has left her money for her and her son, Roger's widow suspects her husband may have been the father, while Mary is convinced instead that it was her annulled ex-husband, Jack. Jack's ruthless father , upon learning he may be grandparent of the child, threatens legal action to gain custody, but his son wants no part in separating little Jackie from his mother. Further, he reasserts his love for Mary and promises he will ask his now handicapped wife, Flip, for a divorce so that Jackie will have a real family. He instructs Mary to pack her belongings and get Jackie ready to leave so that the three can start a new life together. Before Jack has a chance to inform his now-handicapped wife, Flip, of these stunning developments, Flip pays an unexpected visit to Mary's apartment. To Mary's surprise, Flip makes a heartfelt, selfless plea for her to take Jack and make him happy as (in her words) she could no longer do. Mary is so struck by the offer and by Flip's true love for Jack, that she not only decides to cancel her plans to reunite with Jack, but also to ask Jack to adopt Jackie and, along with Flip, give him a 'proper' life in society. Jack enters the apartment and, in a whispered chat with Mary, is prevented from telling Flip that he ever had any intention of leaving her.
三个伟大女性讲述什么叫为爱成全……但都比不上编剧的成全……男人就自私了些。那小男孩儿真的很像Fonda耶
The bubbles just went on and on and on...poor Bette working so hard to give a serious performance on a snoozy soap.
贝蒂好适合黑帮分子的女人这种设定，方达打电话耍无赖那里笑死我了，俩人在台阶前依偎那里特别有情侣感，然而之后就陷入了不知所谓的苦情剧之中。
此种剧作糟烂三观奇葩的片子拍出来就是毁女性电影名声的……支撑我看下去的动力是期待编剧（尤其当这个人是Edmund Goulding时）能迷途知返把自己拉回正轨，可惜没有。当最后BD听到原配2号的死讯时眼里闪过一道光，我整个人都不好了……
