In Name Only

“A woman trying to live her own life-A man who wouldn't let her-A wife living without love, fighting them both with the bitter weapons of a desperate heart!”

Why does Alec Walker (Cary Grant) stay married to Maida (Kay Francis) when everyone in Bridgefield, Connecticut thinks she is the ideal wife? She has made sure his parents believe it, and she gives him nothing at home. Then he meets Julie Eden (Carole Lombard), a widow, and John Cromwell sets the three of them on a collision with his family's money and good name at stake.
