Forever Female

A young and cynical writer (William Holden) criticises a stage star who is advancing in years but still popular (Ginger Rogers). In time he begins a relationship with her after he sells his own play to her ex-husband (Paul Douglas). A younger and upcoming actress (Pat Crowley) is also attracted to him and believes a part given to the older actress would be better suited to her.

Based off the play 'Rosalind' by JM Barrie and adapted for the screen by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein, this film seems to have pretensions at being like ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), but this film it ain't. As a romantic comedy it's okay, but is unlikely to set the world on fire, despite the strengths of the two leads and a good performance by Douglas as the still cuckold ex who gets some of the best dialogue
