Summary of Cynara
Ronald Colman is successful barrister Jim Warlock of London, apparently completely devoted to his wife Clemency (Kay Francis) but also starting to have just a tiny bit of doubt about the boring, settled routine life that he's ensconced in. When Clemency unexpectedly takes off for Italy to accompany her romantically-troubled sister, Jim finds himself alone for an unexpected time and in the company of his far less conservative older friend Tring (Henry Stephenson). Tring convinces Jim to go out for a night on the town right after his wife has left, and in a little Italian restaurant Jim soon meets - and is smitten with - Doris, who might be a younger version of his wife. Jim enters into an affair, all the while trying to convince both Doris and himself that it can never be allowed to affect his marriage or career. But when Clemency returns unexpectedly a day early, and Jim has to cancel an afternoon's appointment with Doris, the scorned lover can't take it - she has lost her job recently, as well as losing the man she's convinced herself wants more than just a fling.
