Housewife Reviews

Bette Davis plays a home-wrecker siren involved in a love triangle. Brent is a successful copywriter who, with the support of his wife, Dvorak, opens his own ad agency. He has a rough time of it, but when Dvorak gets him drunk, he is able to sell himself to the owner of a cosmetics company, Halliday. Davis, who is a fellow copywriter and former lover of Brent, writes a dynamic commercial for him to get his firm off the ground. In return she wants to resume their relationship. Davis' commercial is a success and soon clients are beating down Brent's office door. Flustered by his newfound success, Brent is about to divorce his wife and marry Davis when he overhears some nasty remarks made by Davis about Dvorak and realizes that he still loves his wife. Remembering that Dvorak was his inspiration from the start, Brent leaves Davis and returns to his wife.
