no one can deny that ann harding be something to look at and and that be about all this film have to offer . her co star be a very young mustachioed laurence olivier work very hard to make something of an unconvincingly write character specifically and a high strung novelist who resent churn out hack material for quick money to pay the bill while living in a small apartment with his wife ( harding ) and a baby daughter . eventually he can take no more and divorce his wife and go off to write what he please in peace and leave his wife to marry a long time admirer ( irving pichel ) who provide her with money and status even though she be not in love with him . year later the estranged couple meet again in lucerne . by now he be a successful and famous novelist and impulsively decides to wrest back the woman he have desert . throughout the proceeding they bicker and make up with tiring frequency . the movie be mostly talk in the noel coward style but without the coward sparkle . the fight and reconciliation and include the reuniting of a divorced couple at a classy resort and be very reminiscent of coward private life which have be film with disastrous result the year before . a in life and the couple even play and sings a song from time to time and in this case what will i do . in short and this be good if you like watch harding and a great screen beauty and and examine the meticulous craftsmanship of olivier . otherwise it a leaden and witless talkathon .
