Lynn (Virginia Bruce) works for a successful theatrical agent (Warren William) in New York City, effectively the breadwinner in her marriage to David (Robert Montgomery). But, when David lands a job in charge of building boats in a shipyard in New Bedford, Mass., he wants Lynn to give up her career and be supported by him in a small town. She refuses, and the couple splits. Soon, the flirtatious Claudia (Binnie Barnes) starts going for David. But then Lynn becomes unsure of her choice.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

Esquire Magazine

Some fresh indirect touches and a slew of fairly bright performances by such reliable folk as Robert Young..very realistic.

Maclean's Magazine

That familiar problem - a woman's marriage vs. her career - gets another thorough workout in The First Hundred Years.
