“Oh, please release me, let me go.”

“Oh, please release me, let me go For I just don't love you anymore To waste our lives would be a sin Release me and let me love again.” Songwriters: CARLA MARIA WILLIAMS, JONATHAN COFFER Of course, the movie is a tad different than the book, as usual. A lot of the subtleties and observations have been removed for brevity. Not too much and has been moved around for the film, and the ending has the same results, just more implications than speeches. They chose the best actors for the parts, Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, and Mary Astor, to name a few. An auto manufacturer, Sam Dodsworth, still interested in the industry, is convinced by his wife to take a “Long” European vacation. Their idea of a vacation seems to vary as he is still interested in the industry, and his wife, Fran Dodsworth (Ruth Chatterton) interested in staying youthful and flirting. Sam overlooks Fran's intercessions in the name of love. Eventually, due to circumstances, he has time to spend with divorced Edith Courtright (Mary Astor) and sees what a real woman can be like. He sees his b-i-t-c-h-y, unscrupulous, pretentious wife for the first time and must decide if he will be a victim of habit or otherwise. Watch the movie, kibitz, and make your choice.
