This one doesn't seem to be going anywhere yet - I'll try putting it together another way:
A discerning woman sets her sites on and manages to marry a wealthy scion. Though the marriage is initially an obligatory undertaking, the two come to love and respect each other.
But there?s an underlying problem. The wife trapped her husband into the marriage.When he finds out he was set up he?s outraged and takes up with an old flame. Next stop - divorce.
It's an RKO picture, B&W, 1930's, with two well-respected actors. The male lead went on to make a string of very big hits; the female lead became a star, too, but was consistently cast in "women's films" in the same type of role and her career waned. The director was a successful studio director, Oscar nominated; his son is a currently active Oscar nominated actor.
TCM restored this film (the uncensored version) and it was shown recently.

This is the only film the two co-stars made together but their chemistry is powerful. The male lead was already a star and about to become an even bigger star. The female lead was a beautiful, aristocratic and accomplished actress who would become very popular but eventually typecast.
Set in the 1930?s, it?s the story of a discerning woman who manages to marry a wealthy scion. Though theirs starts as something of a convenient marriage, love and respect develop between the two.
