When his mother dies, young Peter Ibbetson leaves Paris and his best friend, Mary, behind to live with a severe uncle in England. Years later, Peter is an architect with little time for women, until he begins a project with the Duke and Duchess of Towers. When Peter and the duchess become great friends, she reveals that she is Mary — but the duke soon suspects his wife of infidelity and challenges Peter to a duel, threatening the pair's second chance.

About what you can expect from a romantic melodrama from this era so your mileage may very on your tolerance to such things. I personally enjoyed it but wasn't that swept up by it. The performances are quite good though.

I can't believe time travelers went back and leaked the plot of Star Wars: Episode IX in 1935.
Only half kidding.
