Discusses a young woman's negative appraisal of each new man she meets. Ultimately, she learns that selfanalysis must come first, that she must accept the possibility of making certain changes in herself and fewer demands on other people.

EVE QUESTIONS "IS HE RIGHT FOR ME?" EACH TIME SHE MEETS A NEW BOY. EACH EXPERIENCE ENDS WITH THE BOY RESISTING HER ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE HIM. A FRIEND MAKES MARY REASSESS HER OWN ACTIONS.

Ken Smith sez: "Mary" is the level-headed narrator of this film, which was shot on the campus of Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. Mary's headstrong college chum, "Eve," is "attractive and full of life," but Mary is surprised because "she isn't already engaged." In a series of flashbacks, we see Eve's history of recent boyfriends -- none of whom were right for her. In the end, obstinate Eve learns that "we must learn to change ourselves, rather than change others," but she still ends up without a boyfriend.
This is one of five films in the Marriage For Moderns series, based on the textbook of the same name by Henry A. Bowman (guess where he taught). Watch for the scene where Eve idly makes a heart out of pebbles, while bad boyfriend Arthur ("the Brain") makes the equation for the area of a circle.
The fact that Eve is searching for a husband at an all-women school is never questioned.
