In Name Only is the kind of drama that may be happening to real people right now. Its three-cornered love story is so true to life that producer Cecile B. DeMille reminds us that the characters are only fictional. It stars the same three big movie stars, as were in the 1939 RKO picture Carey Grant, Carole Lombard and Kay Francis. It is a drama of three very modern people beneath the veneer of civilization basic emotions still govern the life of human beings but when this veneer of manners and convention is torn aside as in this drama we have a story of almost primitive conflict involving three powerful personalities, one man and two women. To his wife ties that even her selfishness and insincerity have not broken bind Alec Warren. To Julie Eden a tie of love, which makes no demands, binds Alec Warren.
