H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941)

In the heart of Boston, ensconced in the lap of blue blood and privilege, resides Harry Pulham, an accomplished Harvard-educated businessman in his forties. His life, a symphony of predictability and routine, is shared with his childhood sweetheart turned wife, Kay Motford. Pulham embodies the quintessence of contentment, his happiness seemingly rooted in the predestined path carved by his upbringing. However, one ordinary day becomes an extraordinary turning point when he receives two phone calls that shake the very foundations of his complacency. The first call is from Bo-Jo Brown, a former Harvard comrade, who heads a twenty-five-year reunion committee, nudging Pulham into the task of penning down attendee biographies, including his own. The second call, a voice from the past, belongs to Marvin Myles, a former colleague from Pulham's brief stint at the J.T. Bullard Advertising Agency in New York City - a deviation from his customary life, courtesy of his liberally-minded Harvard friend, Bill King. The echoes of these calls compel Pulham to navigate the labyrinth of his life, questioning his happiness, his love for Kay, and the choices that led him back to the comforts of his Boston existence. Memories of a lost love, a woman of humble beginnings unwilling to wear the crown of his blue-blooded life, resurface, making him wonder if his true happiness lay entwined with her in the fast-paced life of New York City. In this introspective journey, Pulham grapples with the realization of living a life crafted by societal expectations rather than his heart's desires. As he stands at the crossroads of past and present, he must decide whether he can rewind the hands of time, or find a path forward, to reclaim the happiness that he now perceives as conspicuously absent from his life. Harry Pulham, Esq. is a poignant exploration of a man's quest to break free from the shackles of conformity and rediscover his authentic self.
