Smart Woman

A woman is devoted to her husband and fond of him. He is a man who moves in society. One day she learns that he is involved with someone else. He is planning to leave her for the other woman. The wife does not choose to shout. She does not weep and she does not confront him. Instead she sets up a game. She behaves as though she has an affair of her own. Her friends join in gladly. Each of them plays the part that falls to them. Seeing this makes the husband uncomfortable. His confidence begins to slip. The woman waits without any hurry at all. The story runs as a drawing room comedy. Mary Astor and Robert Ames appear in the sixty eight minute film, an American production Gregory La Cava finished in 1931.
