The Strange Love of Martha Ivers & His Girl Friday

Plot:
In 1928, young heiress Martha Ivers fails to run off with friend Sam Masterson,
and is involved in fatal events. Years later, Sam returns to find Martha the
power behind Iverstown and married to "good boy" Walter O'Neil, now district
attorney. At first, Sam is more interested in displaced blonde Toni Marachek
than in his boyhood friends; but they draw him into a convoluted web of plotting
and cross-purposes.

Plot:
Having been away for four months, Hildy Johnson walks into the offices of the
New York City based The Morning Post, where she is a star reporter, to tell her
boss, editor Walter Burns, that she is quitting. The reason for her absence was
among other things to get a Reno divorce, from, of all people, Walter, who
admits he was a bad husband. Hildy divorced Walter largely because she wanted
more of a home life, whereas Walter saw her more as a driven hard-boiled
reporter than subservient homemaker. Hildy has also come to tell Walter that she
is taking the afternoon train to Albany, where she will be getting married
tomorrow to staid straight-laced insurance agent, Bruce Baldwin, with whose
mother they will live, at least for the first year. Walter doesn't want to lose
Hildy, either as a reporter or a wife, and if he does, doesn't believe Bruce is
worthy of her. Walter does whatever he can at least to delay Hildy and Bruce's
trip, long enough to persuade Hildy to stay for good. His plan includes doing
whatever he can to place Bruce in a bad light, while dangling a big story under
her nose, namely covering what the newspaper believes is the unfair imminent
execution of convicted cop killer, Earl Williams. Hildy doesn't trust Walter in
dealing with her and Bruce in an above board manner, but the lure of what
potentially may become the biggest story in years, which includes true love, a
bumbling sheriff and a corrupt mayor, the latter's actions largely in light of
an upcoming election, may prove to be too much for Hildy to resist, especially
if it ends up being an exclusive. Regardless of the story outcome, Hildy will
have to decide if the thrill of the chase was worth the anguish on her personal
life.
