Gloria Swanson and Laurence Olivier star in this 1930s comedy drama directed by Cyril Gardner. Newlyweds Judy and Nicholas Randall (Swanson and Olivier) seem to have the ideal marriage based on perfect understanding and mutual respect. While away on their honeymoon Nicholas gets drunk and sleeps with his former mistress Stephanie (Nora Swinburne). Overcome with guilt Nicholas confesses to Judy who promptly forgives him although deep down she conceals feelings of anger and betrayal. When Nicholas suspects Judy of having an affair he confronts her and the pair realise that maybe their marriage isn't perfect after all.
Jeremy Dilke (Horton) is a meek mild-mannered businessman who allows everyone to use him for a doormat. While looking into his mirror Dilke is confronted by his brusque assertive alter ego who declares I am the man you have always longed to be. Armed with his newfound confidence Dilke becomes a go-getting dynamo much to the delight of heroine Helen (Genevieve Tobin) who knew he had it in him all along. Moon-faced Alastair Sim plays a wonderful cameo as a foreign interpreter.
