  • "Sam Dodsworth, a business man, sells his firm in order to please his wife Fran. They have been married 20 years, and have a married daughter. Fran wants to go to Europe and have a good time. She is haunted by the fear of growing old, and becoming unattractive. Sam, honest, blunt, patient, and chivalrous, is powerless to stop Fran's flirtations and infidelities with men younger than herself. She refuses to return to America, and ultimately begs Sam to divorce her, in order that she may marry a young Austrian Count. By this time Sam has found consolation in a friendship with Edith, an American living in Naples. His peace is shattered when he receives a summons from Fran. Her Kurt's mother has refused to allow her son to marry a divorced woman years older than himself. Sam prepares patiently to shoulder his burden again, when Fran's excessive selfishness suddenly becomes intolerable to him. He leaves her, and hurries back to Edith."
