The Lady Objects

Ann Adams and William Hayward are married, and she has a job as a secretary in a law firm while finishing school, and soon becomes a younger partner and is just a brilliant lawyer. Meanwhile, the husband has a job as a mechanized draftsman and acts like a mechanic ... except when he sings. He is tired of Ann turning their home into a bar associate's club where all the lawyers discuss off-court cases, and he gives up and stops by a nightclub and gets a job as a singer and earns more money than when she was a cartoonist in an architect's office ... and begins to imply that Ann should now be content to be a housewife, and Ann has none of that. Later, she and her lawyer friends stop by the club where William sings, and she sees William being entertained by a girl, injured, and goes outside ... after insulting William. And ... so they break up and William gets an apartment, and then there's a girl in his apartment who accidentally choked while she was drunk. But the law doesn't buy it either, and William goes to trial for life ... and Ann is his defense attorney. Anna's defense is that it was her fault that she was so career-focused and that she didn't provide William with the home life he deserved ... and the jury buys her a 1938 sale. They reunite and Ann becomes Blondie Bumstead. I Used To Watch That As A Kid.
