Plot
When president of Dodsworth Motors, Samuel "Sam" Dodsworth (Walter Huston) a successful, self-made man sells the company he founded 20 years earlier in Zenith, a small mid-western town, his banker and friend, warns that men like them are only happy when they are working. Sam talks of the extended trip to Europe he is taking with his wife Fran (Ruth Chatterton), who feels trapped by their dull social life.

While travelling on the RMS Queen Mary to England, the couple meet congenial companions. Sam talks frequently to Edith Cortright (Mary Astor), an American divorcee, who resides in Italy, who is sympathetic to his eagerness to expand his horizons and learn new things. And Fran indulges in a light flirtation with a handsome Englishman (David Niven) until he suggests they become more serious and then berates her rejection. Humiliated, Fran later persuades Sam to bypass England and go directly to Paris.
