overview
What is Object: Alimony about?
TENSE DRAMA. Strips the mask from secret vices and lays bare the follies of the swift living fast set! YOU'LL LIKE IT!. Ruth Butler, a clerk in an emporium, marries Jimmy Rutledge and thereby greatly displeases his mother, the owner of the emporium, because of Ruth's lowly origins. Renaud Graham, one of Mrs. Rutledge's friends, becomes interested in Ruth, forces his way into her apartment, and attempts to make violent love to her. Jimmy walks in on their embrace and, suspecting the worst, leaves Ruth. In the family way, Ruth finds refuge in a boardinghouse where she meets Al Bryant, an aspiring writer. Ruth tells Al her life story, and he makes it into a bestselling novel and then into a play. Jimmy sees the play and comes to his senses, winning Ruth's forgiveness. It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Scott R. Dunlap. With a runtime of 1h 10m, it offers a concise viewing experience.
