Le droit d'aimer (1946)
La mort de Paul, son mari, laisse Jessica Drummond seule, à Lake Forest, dans l'Illinois. Son avocat, Frank Everett, vieil ami de la famille, l'avertit qu'elle devra réduire son train de vie, si elle veut que les fonds que Paul a placés en son nom lui permettent de faire vivre ses deux enfants. Jessica résiste aux avances du mari d'un amie qui la raccompagnait en voiture. Fatiguée, elle accepte d'accompagner des proches lors d'un séjour aux sports d'hiver. Elle y fait la connaissance du major Scott Landis, un bel homme à la réputation sulfureuse. Elle repousse ses avances. Plus tard, à Lake Forest, Jessica, restée seule après le départ de ses enfants, accepte de revoir Scott...
