'The Bride Wore Boots' (1946): It's a comedy of errors when a bookish husband (Robert Cummings) tries to win back the affections of his horse-breeding wife (Stanwyck). 'The Lady Gambles' (1949): When novice gambler Joan Booth (Stanwyck) bets it all -- and loses -- she is thrust into a downward spiral from which only her devoted husband (Preston) can save her.
