Actors: Barbara Stanwyck

An embittered woman seeks escape in marriage, only to fall for her husband’s best friend. Mae Doyle is a good-time girl, but now times are bad. Weary of too much booze and too many men, she returns to her girlhood home, the fishing village of Monterey, California. There she finds security as the wife of a devoted and dull fisherman…and passion in the arms of his provocative best friend.
