Honor Among Lovers  (1931)


A strange morality unfolds in this modern romance, as secretary Julia Traynor (Claudette Colbert) deflects the aggressive flirtations of her millionaire boss.  Favoring a boyfriend who is more her peer, Julia hasn't reckoned on being the strongest of any of them, leading to a series of reversals in which she learns more clearly where to set her sights.
