A vintage movie poster of ''In Name Only'', a 1939 American romantic drama film directed by John Cromwell and starring Cary Grant and Carole Lombard. The film is notable for its portrayal of a complex love triangle and the performances of its two leading stars.
The story of "In Name Only" revolves around Alec Walker, played by Cary Grant, a wealthy and unhappily married man who wants to divorce his manipulative and controlling wife, Maida, portrayed by Kay Francis. However, due to societal pressures and Maida's conniving ways, Alec is unable to secure a divorce.
Alec meets Julie Eden, played by Carole Lombard, a young and kind widow with a young daughter. The two fall in love, but their romance is complicated by Alec's existing marriage and Maida's determination to hold onto him.
The film explores themes of love, duty, and societal expectations, as Alec and Julie's love faces numerous obstacles. It also highlights the contrast between Alec's unhappy marriage and his newfound happiness with Julie.
"In Name Only" is known for its strong performances, particularly those of Cary Grant and Carole Lombard. Grant brings depth to his character as a man trapped in a loveless marriage, while Lombard shines as the charming and sympathetic Julie. Their on-screen chemistry is a significant factor in the film's success.
The movie blends elements of drama and romance and is noted for its emotional depth and mature themes, making it a departure from the typical screwball comedies that both Grant and Lombard were known for during their careers.
"In Name Only" is considered a classic of the romantic drama genre and is appreciated for its nuanced portrayal of love and sacrifice in the face of societal pressures. It remains a memorable film from the late 1930s, showcasing the talents of its two iconic lead actors.
