Dodsworth Motor Company has been sold. The beginning reminds me of CITIZEN KANE...the end of a man's life.

She's 44 and look great, but she doesn't look 30.

She's 44 and look great, but she doesn't look 30. Agree. She's looks late 30s.

That was a horrible house of cards she just built.

Imagine how rich you'd be if you started a car company in 1909 (the book was written in 1929.)
"Poker for the men and women for the women."

Ruth Chatterton reprised the role of Fran Dodsworth in a live TV adaptation for The Prudential Family Playhouse in 1950. That time she appeared opposite Walter Abel and Eva Marie Saint.

Chatterton does have more of a chip on her shoulder / edge than I remembered.

Dodsworth is such a good down-to-earth guy. I loved how casual he was about being dressed all wrong.
David Niven, always elegant and debonair, the last person you'd want after your wife.
