Don't want to "remember" this wreck

This movie was painful and outlandish, at best.

Greer Garson is engaged to Lew Ayres and meets his best friend, Robert Taylor. Robert Taylor immediately (and blatantly) starts romancing Greer RIGHT IN FRONT OF LEW when they are supposed to be best friends. Greer keeps putting herself alone with Robert, and (duh) they end up together to the dismay of the ever tolerant Lew (Greer also shows no signs of remorse at cheating on her fiancée).

The WORST part was when Robert and Greer elope...then, when a surprised and dismayed Lew shows up, Greer has the NERVE to chastize him for being angry.

She is probably the most despicable of the three because of her patronizing and holier-than-thou attitude...despite all of the rotten things she does to the man she supposedly once loved. Robert is next. I, for one, would never throw Lew over for this jerk. At least they deserve each other.

Lew Ayres is the only good part of this movie, even though you want him to slap the other two and he never does.

Do NOT see this movie...unless you want to be frustrated and annoyed...
