Dodsworth

Toronto-born Walter Huston revives his stage role as the earnest Sam Dodsworth, whose successful early retirement opens a door to new adventures but also heartache. Sam's younger, energetic, and aging-phobic wife, Fran, played with dazzling vigor by Ruth Chatterton, is itching to escape the mundanity of their midwestern town and plans an extensive sojourn to Europe. It's aboard the RMS Queen Mary that Sam and Fran's complex dynamic reveals itself, setting the stage for unconventional arrangements and the looming threat of divorce.
