Ein ideales Paar (1939)
John Horace Mason ist ein junger Rechtsanwalt in New York City. Mason heiratet die attraktive Jane, zum Entsetzen seines Chefs Richter Doolittle, der ebenso wie Johns Mutter erwartet hatte, dass er Doolittles Tochter Eunice heiratet. Der begabte Anwalt John macht sich Hoffnung auf eine Partnerschaft in Richter Doolittles Anwaltskanzlei, wird dabei jedoch übergangen. Nach der Geburt des Sohnes wird die finanzielle Situation der kleinen Familie schwieriger. Die Diskussion mit Richter Doolittle um eine Gehaltserhöhung dreht der alte Fuchs jedoch um in eine Gehaltssenkung. Die Ehe gerät in eine Krise.
