Mr. Skeffington is a 1944 drama film based on Elizabeth von Arnim's novel of the same name, directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Bette Davis and Claude Rains, both of whom received Academy Award nominations for their roles.The story begins in 1914. Beautiful Fanny Trellis (Davis) has many admirers, but she also has an extravagant, dishonest brother, Trippy (Richard Waring), who embezzles funds from his boss, Job Skeffington (Rains). Job attempts to confront Trippy, but is instantly smitten by Fanny. In order to save Trippy's skin and facilitate a comfortable life for herself, Fanny marries Job. Job is initially devoted, but Fanny is shallow and faithless. The film follows their marriage as the years pass... | |

Happy Marriage Charade: Initially, anyway. Job only realises later in the marriage that Fanny doesn't love him. | |

Nice Guy | |
| Mr. Skeffington / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: It takes Job a long time to stop being this, and even then he remains endlessly polite to his adulterous, uncaring wife. George, Fanny's cousin, is something of an example, he clearly sees Fanny's treatment of Job as cruel and spiteful, and is the one who pursues her to reconcile with him at the end. | |
