What happens

B.F.'s Daughter is a 1948 American drama film directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Barbara Stanwyck and Van Heflin. It was adapted by Luther Davis from John P. Marquand's 1946 novel of the same name, about a prominent couple whose marital tensions come to a boiling point during World War II. The book was controversial for its treatment of social conflicts and adultery, but the film is a sanitized and fairly conventional love story. The film was released in the UK as Polly Fulton, because "B.F." was a euphemism there for "bloody fool" in the 1940s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
