In Name Only

Maida (Kay Francis) social engineering at her party, with friend Ned (Jonathan Hale) and her in-laws (Charles Coburn, Nella Walker), framing husband Alec (Cary Grant) and neighbor Julie (Carole Lombard), in John Cromwell's In Name Only, 1939.

Following his car crash, Maida (Kay Francis) thinks she's caught spouse Alec (Cary Grant) red-handed, leading to his righteous denial and turnabout, early in John Cromwell's In Name Only, 1939.

With a fictional Connecticut village established by road sign in the opening shot, director John Cromwell introduces Carole Lombard (as "Julie") fishing, Cary Grant (as "Alec") in jodhpurs, the promising meet-cute, though it's no comedy, co-starring Kay Francis, In Name Only, 1939.
