Doctors' Wives

Joan Bennett marries Doctor Warner Baxter. They're very much in love, but he's a good-looking surgeon, and there is always an operation or or consultation or research, or society women with vague complaints, so time hangs on her hands. She grows jealous. When his friend and researcher on cancer, Victor Varconi comes to town, they are thrown together.... and Varconi falls for her and Baxter knows it.

Miss Bennett gets a lot of screen time with Fox's Academy Award winner in the top spot, which can be explained b the fact that Frank Borzage is directing. It's certainly a competent soap opera, but pretty far from Borzage's poetic realism strain.
