Plot
The film is centred around the life of Kate Swallow and her
susceptibility for falling in love with different men. At the
beginning of the film she is in love with a famous writer named
Alec Bolton, who dismisses any intentions she has of writing a
novel herself as nonsense, strongly discouraging her. Later falls
in love with a man named Vanni Corso who is the publisher of the
firm for which Alec writes books, and she leaves Alec for Vanni.
Kate later finds out that Vanni also doesn't think highly of her
writing abilities yet he had strung her along. Gradually both men
change their attitudes as they vainly struggle to win her
affections.
Walken has a scene where he is able to perform his trademark
tango routine.
