Claudia And David (1946)

A young wife (Dorothy McGuire) is struggling with the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood while her husband (Robert Young) builds a successful career as an architect. Her immaturity leads her to behave unreasonably and suspiciously. Based on the short stories by Rose Franken and directed by Walter Lang (THE KING AND I). This was a sequel to the 1943 film CLAUDIA which had been a great success on Broadway starring McGuire, who recreated her role in the movie version. The first film was a big hit and this sequel also hit pay dirt at the box office. Honestly, this sequel didn't do much for me and I like both McGuire and Young. In between the two CLAUDIA movies, they did THE ENCHANTED COTTAGE which is a better film. The film benefits from an excellent supporting cast including Mary Astor, John Sutton, Gail Patrick, Rose Hobart, Florence Bates and Harry Davenport.
