Quotes:
« Peter Lapham: Daisy, do you know you've never told me you love me? Don't say it now. I like you for not saying it. Let it grow. Let it grow until loving me means loving the earth, and all that's sweet and green and mellow and exciting on the face of the earth and the face of the ocean.

« Peter Lapham: The world's dead, and everybody in it's dead but you.

« Mary Angelus: Want to tell me where you're going, so I'll have something to lie about?

Plots:
A commercial artist having an affair with a married attorney becomes involved with a returning soldier and must choose between the two.
Daisy Kenyon (Joan Crawford) is a commercial artist living in New York City and having a ‘back street’ affair with a married lawyer, Dan O’Mara (Dana Andrews), whom she hopes to marry as soon as he divorces his nagging wife Lucille (Ruth Warrick). Meanwhile, she meets a returning world-war-two veteran, Peter Lapham (Henry Fonda), a nice and decent man, whom she marries. Dan gets his divorce and then tries to persuade Daisy to leave her loving husband.
Commercial artist Daisy Kenyon is involved with married lawyer Dan O’Mara, and hopes someday to marry him, if he ever divorces his wife Lucille. She meets returning veteran Peter, a decent and caring man, whom she does not love, but who offers her love and a more hopeful relationship. She marries him… just as Dan gets a divorce.
