Dodsworth

A Sinclair Lewis book adaptation, about a man who leaves his work to discover what leisure really is. His wife desperately wants to leave their town, they sail to Europe and she becomes an unabashed flirt, in a desperate bid to stay young. Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton do amazing things with these roles, but the real prize goes to Sinclair Lewis and Sidney Howard for the writing. This is not your everyday tale of a wayward wife! Remember the times when you watch this film.
