La grande menzogna (1941)
Una donna ricca (Davis) credendo che il marito da lei molto amato sia morto in un incidente d'aereo, offre alla sua rivale (Astor), famosa pianista, una grossa somma di denaro in cambio del bambino che questa porta in grembo. L'uomo (Brent), che invece è sopravvissuto, le perdona la menzogna di avergli fatto credere di essere le vera madre.
