That Certain Woman (1937)

In the throbbing heart of the city, Mary Donnell, a woman with a troubled past, finds herself caught in a tumultuous web of love, sacrifice, and deception. Once wedded to a notorious gangster, her life takes an unexpected turn when she widows at the tender age of sixteen. Fate deals her a new hand as she finds employment with Lloyd Rogers, a discontented lawyer trapped in an unhappy marriage. A whirlwind romance ensues when Jack, the son of a prominent client, falls head over heels for Mary. Their love story is abruptly halted when Jack's father discovers their secret union and forcefully annuls it. Unbeknownst to Jack, this brief marriage results in a son, Jackie, who is concealed in the shadows of their past. Meanwhile, Jack moves forward, marrying a woman who tragically becomes crippled in a devastating accident. As Lloyd lies on his deathbed, he leaves a substantial inheritance for Mary and her son, stirring speculation in Roger's widow about the true paternity of Jackie. Yet, Mary stands firm in her belief that Jack, not Lloyd, is the real father. The ever-looming presence of Jack's ruthless father threatens their delicate balance when he discovers his potential grandson and plots to seize custody. However, Jack, driven by a renewed love for Mary, wants no part in his father's sinister plans. He proposes a daring plan for a fresh start with Mary and his alleged son, even at the cost of his current marriage. But fate has one more curveball to throw. Flip, Jack's handicapped wife, unexpectedly visits Mary. Displaying a remarkable courage and selflessness, she implores Mary to take Jack and give him the happiness she can no longer provide. This noble act strikes a chord in Mary's heart, leading her to abandon her plans with Jack and instead propose a respectable life for Jackie with Flip and Jack. Jack, on the verge of revealing his intentions to Flip, is silenced by Mary's decision. In the heart of the apartment, a whispered conversation seals their fate, leaving a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and the search for a proper life.
