La Femme de l'année (1942)
Sam Craig, reporter sportif dans un quotidien new-yorkais, supporte mal les remarques sur le sport de sa collègue Tess Harding, fille de diplomate et chroniqueuse à la rubrique internationale. Ils se querellent car tout les oppose. Mais, au grand étonnement de leurs amis, ils se marient ! Commencent les difficultés. Leurs intérêts divergent, l’un raffole des matchs de baseball, de réunions intimes entre amis et de plaisirs simples, l’autre, plus sophistiquée, baigne dans les mondanités, les meetings féministes et la politique… De plus, Tess est nommée « femme de l’année » ! La vie privée des jeunes époux devient chaotique et Sam, excédé, quitte le domicile conjugal. Tess, se rendant compte de l’amour qu’elle porte à Sam, décide de le reconquérir et se glisse un petit matin chez lui, elle lui prépare un petit-déjeuner qui vire à la catastrophe. Touché par les efforts de Tess, Sam se réconcilie avec sa femme.
