Richard Aiken: Oh Yeah?
Susan Darell: That was truthful, but not honest.
Roger Berton: Double talk
Susan Darell: Not double talk. When a woman dresses to attract all men, it isn't honest but truthful. When she dresses to appeal to only one man, that's not truthful, but it's honest.
Roger Berton: Who is the man?
Susan Darell: What man?
Roger Berton: The man you are dressing honestly for, so that you would not be truthful.

Obviously, "The Affairs of Susan" has some dated depictions of gender relations. But aside from that, it's a funny movie, with Joan Fontaine playing a woman whose fiancé (Walter Abel) finds out about her previous relationships. All her previous lovers have a story about her wacky antics. The humor is more subtle than what we're used to, but when it bubbles up, there's plenty of laughs to be had! While not the greatest comedy ever, it's still one that you're bound to enjoy. I sure did. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Story but lost to "The House on 92nd Street" (which was actually the more important movie that year).
