I want to add another clue. Here is what we have so far.
He: "You despise me, don't you? A deceived husband is a bad part. It is difficult to act with dignity.
She: "What are you going to do with those letters?
He: "I shall divorce you."
A 1940s movie based on a literary novel.
*New clue:*
Later in the movie she says to him: "Please don't crack your knuckles, you know how much I dislike it."
There is another version of the same story, done in the 30s, that has virtually the same line (about the knuckles).
Sorry, don't mean to complicate this, I'm just not sure whether my clues are fair or not so I'm trying to speed it up. Thanks.
Anybody know the movie?

No, not that one.
This quote might be a little vague since it's a common sort of situation that comes up in a lot of movies.
You are in the right decade and the movie is based on a literary classic. Care to try again?

A WOMAN?S FACE
that belonged to Eve Kendall. Roger Thornhill was next to her and said, ?What th---.? Alfred Hitchcock yelled, ?Cut!!! The Blonde yelled from the upper birth, ?Hurry up with that drink, you knucklehead!? Alan, tired of being pushed around, jumped through a window of the moving train. He lost consciousness and when he revived he found himself?

>Then you better leave the room first, Monsieur le Pirate, or she's calling 9-1-1!
"Okay, Miss Monroe, I'll leave. But have I told you yet how nice you look in a towel."
Well, at least I took her mind off whatever she was worried about.

Your thread.

*Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony.*
*Brahms' 1st Piano Concerto.*
*Mendelssohn's Octet.*
*Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata. (I have more Beethoven than anything. Many complete sets.)*
*Sibelius' 2nd Symphony.*
*Dvorak's 7th.*
*Elgar's Cello Concerto.*
*Copland's "Appalachian Spring."*
Hi *Movieman*, I was just scanning some recent posts on this thread and enjoying your conversation with *Pktrekgirl* that you two had in July. I was MIA from the boards during that period so I didn't see it. I like the list you posted. I'm familiar with just about all on your list, though a few with maybe only a movement or two. For instance, I am more familiar with the first movement of the Hammerklavier and less so with the other movements, and with the famous scherzo from Mendelssohn's Octet more than the other movements. My attraction to the Elgar is fairly recent, absolutely beautiful first movement.
I have always enjoyed trying to identify classical music sequences that pop up in movies. I watched Anna Karenina recently, the 1948 version with Vivien Leigh. During one of the opera box scenes the music started playing. It was Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmila. Nowadays IMDB can be consulted and they will identify a lot of music. It takes the fun out of it, but only a little. It's doubly fun to identify a piece of music and then find out that it is not on imdb.
I don't have that large of a collection. I borrow CDS and put them on the iPod. I listen to the Classical Music Channel on cable, I have that going a lot. At the moment, Schumann's Piano Concerto with Van Cliburn is playing.
It's nice to know there are some of us around here who not only like classical music but are somewhat passionate about it.

I want to bump this up to the top before I give the answer, it's been up for over 36 hours.
When I posted this picture, I was under the impression that this was the character thread, where you simply post a picture of an actor to idenify. So maybe this pic is not fair. I'll give it till Wed evening and identify if not solved by then. Sorry for the mistake.
*FredCDobbs*, are you here, you saw this movie on TCM about six months ago and we exchanged a few words about it.
General hint: the movie is based on a famous (literary) novel. This woman is on screen only briefly but she is important to the story. Anyone?

CHAINED
his arms behind his back so that he couldn?t move them at all. Was she going to push him and watch him fall helplessly below? Or perhaps do the deed with a knife?...God only knew?With unspeakable horror he watched as she put her hand in her pocket. She withdrew her hand slowly and took out---a photo album---yes, she wanted to show Alan the pictures she took last summer while visiting her mother in New Haven. Hardly able to breath, he looked at the first photo and said, "...

Trust me, you're better off NOT knowing!That's what everyone keeps telling me. You're making me laugh with these pictures of Marilyn all pensive and quizzical. Something humorous there but maybe a little dangerous as well. That expression in the bathtub scares me. I want to say, forget it Marilyn, whatever you're thinking, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy your bath.
ps...On second thought, Miss Monroe, why don't you just jump right out of that tub and tell ole laffite all about it...no?...Oh, okay

THE BIG KNIFE
Presumably to do the cutting with, he thought with a laugh. No lines, okay, but that didn?t mean he couldn?t do a little slashing here and there. But then cinematic wavy lines, a twilight swirling state, bewildering mental processes made him realize that he was still between two worlds, the world of hanging on his honor and the world of selling out for a profit. SEG rules or no he was holding out for the truth even if he had to actually say something, yes actually speak a dreaded line to the fat person, the one in white with all the questions, and so with this in mind he wheeled around?
