Dodsworth (1929) follows Sam Dodsworth, a wealthy Midwestern automobile magnate, who embarks on a European journey with his restless wife, Fran. While Fran chases glamour and social status abroad, Sam confronts questions of love, identity, and cultural values. Through this story of marriage, ambition, and disillusionment, Sinclair Lewis offers a sharp critique of American materialism and the allure of European sophistication.
