#5. Everything I Have Is Yours (1952)

Storyline: Married song and dance team Pamela and Chuck Hubbard are about to make their much anticipated and highly publicized Broadway debut. In the approach to opening night, Pamela is complaining about aches and pains and a queasy stomach, which they both attribute to a combination of nerves and the extra rehearsal. They discover that the symptoms are for something totally different: she's pregnant. Beyond the issue of the contract, which producer Alec Tackabury releases her from without issue, the other immediate question is who will take her place, her understudy, Sybil Meriden, assuming the role in the short term. But as time goes on, the longer term question is what having a family is going to do for their professional partnership, and not just for the run of the current show. A difference of opinion may not only threaten their professional lives, but their partnership in all aspects. If this issue does cause them to split in their marriage, others may be waiting conveniently in the wings to help them pick up the pieces.—Huggo
