My Reputation

Barbara Stanwyck stars in this moody melodrama as a widow struggling to rebuild her life despite uncharitable rumors. With her sons away at school, Jessica Drummond (Stanwyck) is lonely and uninterested in the suitors her mother, Mrs. Kimball (Lucile Watson), chooses for her. But when Jessica joins her close friend Ginna Abbott (Eve Arden) on a skiing trip and meets Major Scott Landis (George Brent), a handsome man who is clearly attracted to her, she soon must choose between him and a sweet but dull man back home.
