One Rainy Afternoon

Suave French actor Philippe Martin (Francis Lederer) provokes a scandal when, in a darkened theater, he mistakes young Monique (Ida Lupino) for his mistress, Yvonne (Countess Liev de Maigret), and tries to kiss her. Charged with assault, the quick-thinking Philippe claims it's French tradition to do as he did, and is let go. To his surprise, Philippe learns that Monique has paid his fine. As the tabloids exploit the situation, Monique dates Philippe, until a photo appears of him kissing Yvonne.
