Successful attorney Larry Baker is married to Jill Baker, though over the years the marriage has faded; she finds his odd habits particularly irritating. Jill visits a psychoanalyst, where in the waiting room she meets pianist Alexander Sebastian, and takes a fancy to. Merle Oberon is perfect in her role; Melvyn Douglas and Burgess Meredith are somewhat miscast in theirs. Received an Oscar nomination for Best Dramatic Score.
