Ein Brief an drei Frauen (1949)
Die drei befreundeten Ehefrauen Deborah , Lora Mae und Rita bereiten sich gerade auf eine schöne Bootstour mit einer Schulklasse vor, als sie einen Brief von Addie Ross erhalten. Darin erklärt die intelligente und gut aussehende Frau, dass sie mit einem der Ehemänner von Deborah, Lora Mae oder Rita die Stadt verlassen hat. Das stellt die Freundinnen vor ein großes Rätsel, denn keine hätte damit gerechnet, dass ausgerechnet ihr Ehemann mit einer anderen durchbrennt. Während des Ausflugs versuchen die Frauen zu ergründen, welcher der Ehemänner wohl gemeint ist. Jede glaubt, in der Vergangenheit Hinweise zu finden, die auf ihren Partner hindeuten. Denn Addie Ross spielt bei allen drei Frauen eine gewisse Rolle und ist keinesfalls eine Unbekannte.
