Gary Cooper plays a writer who moves back to rural Connecticut when his career starts to slip. His wife (Helen Vinson) soon becomes bored and heads back to the city, while a young Polish neighbor (Anna Sten) inspires Cooper to start a new novel. Middling melodrama, watchable thanks to Cooper's typically low-key performance. Sten was Russian and a discovery of producer Samuel Goldwyn, who wanted to make her the next Greta Garbo. That didn't quite work out.
