Tom Collier has had a great relationship with Daisy, but when he decides to marry, it is not Daisy whom he asks, it is Cecelia. After the marriage, Tom is bored with the social scene and the obligations of his life. He publishes books that will sell, not books that he wants to write. Even worse, he has his old friend working as a butler and Cecelia wants him fired. When Tom tries to get back together with Daisy to renew the feelings that he once felt, Daisy turns the tables on him and leaves to protect both of them.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pre-code romance about the compromises men make when they marry for respectability rather than love, and the cost of choosing safety over passion. Tom's nostalgic longing for Daisy plays against the domestic ennui of his "proper" marriage, culminating in a quietly devastating moment of clarity.
