A love-starved musician who has an unrelenting crush on a temperamental orchestra leader (Charles Boyer), Katharine Hepburn manages to warm her way into his life just by seeming to be at the right place at the right time. They marry but his lavish lifestyle leads him to infidelity. Of course, Hepburn, proving what every woman knows, stands by him as he falls into alcoholic despair, only to save the day when he realizes what she has known all along, that he needs her more than he ever previously cared to admit.
This handsome looking romantic drama features the two stars in a predictable story that is filled with some great classical music and believable performances by the two stars. Boyer, obviously, doesn't deserve Hepburn's love, but she perseveres, and the results never make you doubt what will happen. Jean Hersholt gives a wise performance as Hepburn's mentor, providing the heart behind the breakage.
