Millicent Wetherby is a mid forties writer, having never been married because of her devotion in taking care of her ailing father, she finds the sudden and unexpected love of a younger man, Burt Hanson (Cliff Robertson) flattering and exciting.

Reunion in France (1942)

December 18th 2008 at 6:30 am on Turner Classic Movies.

In the summer of 1939, Parisian socialite Michele de la Becque (Joan) tries to encourage her lover, automotive designer Robert Cortot (Philip Dorn), to come with her to the South of France, but Robert refuses because of the war. The self-centered Michele does not understand and frivolously goes to her favorite couturier, Mme. Montanot, for a new wardrobe. As Michele leaves for her holiday, Robert tries to tell her how important France is to him and to make her understand what the war means, but she dismisses his words. Soon German forces cross France's seemingly impenetrable Maginot Line and Paris is occupied by the Nazis.

The Gorgeous Hussy (1936)

December 29th 2008 at 12:00 pm on Turner Classic Movies.

In this case, the all star cast just wasn't enough to turn a bad script into a good film. An historical romantic drama with political overtones, 'Peggy' (Joan) is in love with John Randolph (Melvyn Douglas), but she's rejected by him at the beginning of the film when he tells her 'you're too young.' On the rebound she marries Lt. Timberlake (Robert Taylor) but soon after he is killed at sea, leaving Peggy widowed and alone. Going from man to man and gaining herself a reputation as the town Hussy, (hence the name of the film), she eventually marries again and takes John Eaton (Franchot Tone) as her second husband.
