Screenwriter Nunnally Johnson earned an Oscar nomination for this adaptation of Arnold Bennett's play. After living quietly on an island for 20 years, a famous artist (Monty Woolley) reluctantly returns to London, and to the spotlight he so despises. But when his valet dies, he decides to fake his own death and adopt a new identity. Trouble begins when he discovers in his new life not one, but two, exasperated women. John M. Stahl directed.
