Lois Ames is devoted to her job as the editor of a magazine, and her wealthy husband Fred is equally dedicated to polo and parties. Lois's long hours drive her secretary to quit, and she replaces her with Tom Sheridan, who happens to be in the office demonstrating a rowing machine. Tom likes the work and continues to advance until he is indispensable to Lois. Ruth Holman, Tom's fiancée, is jealous of Tom's relationship with Lois and with some reason, as he is falling in love with her. In the meantime, Fred is having an affair with Ann Le Maire, a woman whose interests are closer to his own. Because he feels his love for Lois is hopeless, Tom quits his job and plans his marriage to Ruth. Lois tries to patch things up with Fred, but he suggests that they divorce instead. On Tom's last night, Lois keeps him working late. Ruth is furious and storms up to the office where Lois and Tom are dining. She threatens to tell Lois's husband about their relationship, which leaves the way clear for Lois to announce her pending divorce. Ruth breaks off her engagement to Tom, and he immediately asks Lois to marry him.
八十年代的恐怖电影《处刑在午夜》(10 to Midnight)中,外表不佳却颇具性格气概的老电影人查尔斯·布朗森在片中饰演一个警探,逮捕到一位专门辣手摧花的杀人犯,苦于没有证据,老查不得已设法编造证据,想送他进大牢,不料被穿帮,凶手放出来后,决定对老查的女儿下手以实行报复。为什么老查根本找不到凶手的罪证呢,原来凶手每次行凶前必把自己的衣服脱光,你想找到任何沾有血迹的衣服、裤子、鞋子,都难如登天。于是,反一号男主角吉恩·戴维斯在片中有一半的戏份都要光着身子。《处刑在午夜》在裸露尺度的把握上,真正做到了“男女平等”,你脱我也脱,像吉恩·戴维斯这种可以走偶像路线的男星,接拍《处刑在午夜》实在得不偿失,别说必须时不时的衣不蔽体,角色形象也负面到极点,从片子的票房来看,他也真是白忙了一场。可能从一开始,吸引他的只是赫赫有名的曾导过黑白原版《恐怖角》(Cape Fear)与《纳瓦隆大炮》(The Guns of Navarone)的大导演J·李·汤普森吧,可惜人有失手马有失蹄,这一回他可是脱得很没价值呐!
