Storyline
Plot Summary |
While out riding in the country, wealthy New Yorker Alec Walker meets young widow Julie Eden, and a relationship quickly develops. However, Alec has not told her that he is already locked into a loveless marriage to the avaricious Maida, who has contrived to convince his parents she is the ideal wife. A completely coincidental car crash alerts the two women to each other's existence, a situation to which they react very differently. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

Quotes |
Alec Walker:
[after being asked who was on the phone]
I haven't the remotest notion. She calls me up every now and then and we talk. I call her my telephone dream girl. It's practically weird. See more » |
