| Description: | Wealthy Curtis (Zachary Scott) is engaged to Donna (Joan Leslie). When Donna's cousin Christabel (Joan Fontaine) shows up, things get complicated. Writer friend Nick (Robert Ryan) is immediately attracted to Christabel, although he recognizes that she's a schemer. Christabel, meanwhile, decides she wants the wealthy Curtis (even though she is attracted to Nick). She manages to convince Curtis that Donna only wants him for his money and breaks up the marriage. She gets Curtis to marry her, and they have a cold distant marriage for a while until Nick comes back in the picture. He thinks Christabel will leave Curtis for him, but it's soon apparent that she wants Nick for sex while keeping Curtis for his money. Nick dumps her, but not before Curtis realizes what's going on. He dumps her too, and goes back to Donna. Christabel is left with some fur coats. |
