No More Ladies (1935) in Color — Starring Joan Crawford & Robert Montgomery

Plot Summary

Marcia Townsend is a beautiful, intelligent, and socially prominent New York woman who has everything that money and breeding can provide — except the one thing she truly wants: the love of Sherry Warren, the most charming, handsome, and incorrigibly unfaithful man in Manhattan society. Sherry is a serial philanderer who has left a trail of broken hearts across every fashionable drawing room in the city, and every woman who has tried to tame him has failed spectacularly.

Marcia is different. She loves Sherry with clear eyes, fully aware of his faults, and she is absolutely determined to succeed where others have failed. Against the advice of her wise and witty grandmother and the warnings of her sensible friends, Marcia marries Sherry, confident that her combination of beauty, intelligence, and genuine love will be enough to keep him faithful.

The honeymoon is barely over before Sherry’s wandering eye begins to create problems. He cannot resist flirting with attractive women, and his natural charm makes every social encounter a potential disaster for the marriage. Marcia watches with growing frustration as her husband unconsciously sabotages their happiness through habits so deeply ingrained that he barely recognises them as betrayals.

Realising that direct confrontation and emotional appeals will never work with a man like Sherry, Marcia devises an ingenious plan that involves a country house weekend, a cast of carefully chosen guests — including several of Sherry’s former flames and a devastatingly attractive rival for Marcia’s own affections — and a series of calculated situations designed to make Sherry experience the jealousy and insecurity he has so carelessly inflicted on others. The elaborate scheme leads to a hilarious and emotionally satisfying climax that tests whether love truly can conquer all.
