“I read everything you write.”
“Me too.”
Carey Jackson (Robert Montgomery) is a reporter with no assignment until he’s been transferred to magazine run by his ex-girlfriend Linda Gilman (Bette Davis). Together they are working on a feature story about a “June wedding”, an event being staged by the magazine team in wintertime. Carey, a former foreign correspondent, is already bored with the assignment and Linda, who is a no-nonsense editor, can’t understand why he refuses to just write the puff piece that won’t cause problems for the family involved. However, Carey finds out that there is an unrequited love quadrangle within the family and shenanigans ensue.
I don’t have a ton to say about this film and I won’t give away the ending. Like all 1940s movies about writers, Carey and Linda are quick witted. They ping-pong insults off one another without a thought and criticize each other’s work at a typewriter. Still, they both have skills of observation and understanding of people that is clearly a part of their writing.
