Designing Woman (1957)

Lauren Bacall plays fashion designer Marilla Brown Hagen


Designing Woman on IMDB

'While on vacation, sports reporter Mike Hagen (Peck) meets fashion designer Marilla Brown (Bacall). The two instantly bond and quickly get married, only to realize they have little in common.

Mike is a sports fan and poker enthusiast with working-class friends. Marilla designs clothes for a wide array of artistic personalities. Their friends clash memorably one Wednesday night when his Poker Club and her Drama Society both convene at Marilla's apartment.

Marilla becomes suspicious of Mike after she finds a photograph of Lori Shannon (Dolores Gray), Mike's girlfriend. Mike tries to hide his former relationship, but fails miserably. Complicating matters even further is Mike's continuing series of exposés of the activities of crooked boxing promoter Martin Daylor (Edward Platt). Mike's life is in danger, but he hides that from his wife too. What results is a series of misunderstandings and mishaps.'
