What happens

Skylark is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Mark Sandrich and starring Claudette Colbert, Ray Milland and Brian Aherne. It was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Film historian James H. Farmer described Skylark as "light-hearted fluff" with the story of a woman on her fifth wedding anniversary, realizing that she is fed up with always coming in second to her husband's advertising business. Just at that moment, she meets a handsome attorney, and their innocent flirtation begins to turn into something more serious. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
