''My Reputation'' (1946) is a Creator/WarnerBrothers melodrama about Jess Drummond (Creator/BarbaraStanwyck), a recent widow whose domineering mother mercilessly tells her how to react to her own husband’s death. Because of the loss of her partner of 16 years, Jess feels lonely and isolated, especially since her teen-aged sons are growing out of their need for her.
Jess’ constant solitude has driven her to extreme emotions, so Jess’ friend, Ginna Abbott (Creator/EveArden), invites her to Lake Tahoe for some skiing. There Jess meets Major Scott Landis (Creator/GeorgeBrent), and she slowly begins a romantic relationship with him.
Difficulties arise when Jess’ former social circle spread rumours about her love affair. Jess, on the other hand, tries to reconcile the fact that she can love another man while having a special place in her heart for her deceased husband.
----
!!''My Reputation'' shows the following tropes:
*{{Casanova}}: Major Scott has really gotten around, much to Jess’ discomfort.
*DivorceInReno: Jess’ friends, Baby and Riette, get catty about a mutual friend who recently got divorced in Reno; she’s been seen around with other men in unsavoury circumstances.
*GossipyHens: Jess’ friends spread rumours about Jess’ relationship with Major Scott.
*GossipEvolution: An innocent meet-cute with Major Scott in Lake Tahoe turns into a scandalous affair, per Jess’ friends.
*ItsPronouncedTropay: Ginna’s name is pronounced with a soft g, like Jenna.
*IWillWaitForYou: Jess declares this as Major Scott as he boards the train to go overseas.
*LoveInterest: Major Scott Landis is Jess’ beau even if he says he doesn’t want to get married.
*MaliciousSlander: The lies Riette spreads about Jess and Major Scott.
*MyBelovedSmother: Jess’ mother, Mrs. Kimball, imposes her antiquated, mid-Victorian ideas of how to grieve upon Jess. Not only on how to act about her “own” husband’s death, but how she should act in general and with whom.
*PrettyInMink: Jess wears mink coats and suits with lined fur.
*SleepingSingle: Surprisingly averted with Ginna and her husband, Cary.
*SlutShaming: Not only does Jess get this malarkey from her mother, but even from her sons who are worried that their mother is sleeping around with the Major.
*TrainStationGoodbye: The film ends with Major Scott leaving for an unknown destination overseas.
*WidowsWeeds: Jess’ mother insists that she wears only black, and Jess reluctantly agrees. [[spoiler: However, Jess defies her mother on this matter when she starts going out with Major Scott.]]
*WithFriendsLikeThese: Jess’ so called friend, Riette.
