Dodsworth

“Here is a picture that was marked for greatness before it was ever screened!”

Sam Dodsworth (Walter Huston) sells his auto company and sails for Europe with his wife Fran (Ruth Chatterton), finally free to take the long trip they planned for years. He wants to see everything. She wants to be seen, and the Continent starts to suit her far better than it suits him. William Wyler follows Sam from one capital to the next, a decent, patient man who has to decide how much of his marriage he can afford to lose.
