For those who feel something is missing in their lives—especially successful businesswomen—I recommend the entertaining movie “Honeymoon in Bali,” a 1939 Paramount production starring Fred MacMurray, Madeleine Carroll, and Allan Jones.

Gail Allen (Carroll), a New York department store manager, believes her life is complete, with an efficient office, a lovely apartment, and a low-pressure beau, Eric Sinclair (Jones). In a restaurant one day, she has her fortune told: She will meet a handsome stranger from Bali, have a child, and return to Bali with the man.
