When Ladies Meet (1941)

In the bustling world of literature and journalism, we meet Mary Howard, a gifted novelist, and Jimmy Lee, a successful journalist. Their bond is a blend of camaraderie and profound affection, their relationship a cocktail of intellectual stimulation and playful banter. Jimmy, seeing Mary as his ideal partner, is taken aback when she declines his proposal for marriage. Unbeknownst to Mary, Jimmy discerns the presence of a new man in her life - Rogers Woodruf, her intriguing publisher. Mary, a crafty intellectual, attempts to win Rogers' affection through intellect rather than romance, swapping her natural look for a pair of fake glasses. As Mary inches closer to completing her latest novel, a tale of forbidden love marked by a man's marital ties, Jimmy realizes the story's autobiographical undertones. Mary has yet to meet Clare Woodruf, Roger's elusive wife, which leaves her in the dark about the full implications of her growing fondness for Rogers. In a twist of fate, Jimmy stumbles upon Clare at a social event. Sensing an opportunity to reclaim Mary's affections, he orchestrates a meeting between Mary and Clare, keeping their identities hidden from one another. As Mary's story nears its climax, her real-life situation with Rogers becomes more complicated. Tangled in this web of love, desire, and deception is Bridgie Drake, Mary and Jimmy's flamboyant socialite friend, whose involvement may either unravel the complicated love triangle or tie it in even more knots. This complex tale of love, friendship and ambition is a fascinating journey through the nuanced relationships that shape our lives.
