I thought I’d try here before heading to r/movies, since this is home and I don’t want to get up. I am seeking the title of a film.

I last saw the film perhaps 8 years or so ago. As best I recall, which in this one instance is probably reliable:

English language, almost certainly US, probably 1930s.  
Man feels he is married to a mousy, plain, uninteresting woman. He has an affair, and the girlfriend wants to marry him, so he gets a divorce.

Fast forward ~10 years, and man is attending a party and meets this gorgeous, intriguing, exotic, sophisticated woman…who turns out to be his ex-wife. Predictable outcome.

Any ideas?

I must say that, as a database person, I am pretty proud of my Google skills, but I got nothing but “the 50 best films about divorce”-type results, which weren’t useful at all.

Got it in one!

The TCM synopsis sounded close but maybe not quite right, but the Wikipedia plot summary sounds spot-on. I do believe this is it.

I’m adding to my LetterboxD watchlist now. Thanks, @The_Other_Waldo_Pepper
