Betty Davis, (Maggie Patterson Van Allen) was a very wealthy young woman who was very much in love with a man named Pete who liked to drink and got married to a woman named Sandra Kovack, (Mary Astor). However, Sandra was not really divorced from her first husband and therefore her marriage to Pete was unlawful. Sandra & Pete confront each other and decide to get married once again, but Pete decides he really loves Maggie Patterson and makes her his bride and they are very happy together. Sandra Kovack is an accomplished pianist and is well known through out the world for her great performances. There is an event that happens between Maggie Patterson Van Allen and Sandra Kovack which turns this film in a different direction that causes many problems and will turn into one Great Lie. Great acting by Hattie McDaniel, (Violet) who gave a great supporting role to these great veteran actors. Don't miss this film, it is truly a great film classic from 1941.
