No new ground was broken regarding love triangles in "Glamour". Two men love the same woman and one loses, but this one has a pretty decent storyline. Constance Cummings is married to Paul Lukas, the old buck, and along comes Philip Reed, the young buck. Reed and Cummings fall in love and Lukas, the understanding husband who still loves his wife, steps aside.
It is a woman's picture, and directed by William Wyler who puts a professional touch to ordinary material. Lukas is too old for the part but makes it work and Ms. Cummings turns in a good job here. It all works due to some 'Wyler magic'.
******* 7/10 - Website no longer prints my star rating.
Shown at Capitolfest, Rome NY, 8/22.
