The three main characters, Vivian, Mary and Ruth, are women who where in school together as children. In what might be called the title scene--it begins with the three re-united women lighting their cigarettes from a single match--they sit at lunch and talk about how their lives turned out. They do talk about how Vivian married a rich man, but only get around to asking what he does for a living at the end of the conversation. This is an example of a "pre code" movie with strong female characters.
