On the evening of her birthday, Lucy (Gail Patrick) causes her crusading prosecutor husband Jim (Warren William) to admit his secretary "Sharpie" made all the arrangements, lightly directed by James Whale, in Wives Under Suspicion, 1938.

Oft-forgotten spouse Lucy (Gail Patrick) with friends Phil (William Lundigan) and Elizabeth (Constance Moore) plotting the vacation, while prosecutor husband Jim (Warren William) conspires with secretary "Sharpie" (Cecil Cunningham) to get away, in James Whale's Wives Under Suspicion, 1932.
