MR. SKEFFINGTON.

In 1914, spoiled Fanny Trellis (Bette Davis) is a renowned beauty with many suitors. She marries Job Skeffington (Claude Rains) to save her brother Trippy from prosecution. Trippy leaves home to fight in the Lafayette Escadrille in World War I. Fanny neglects her young daughter (also named Fanny) and begs him to take her with him to Europe. Job fears for his child and tries unsuccessfully to explain to her the nature of prejudice she will encounter as a Jew abroad.
