Plot details for the movie "Old Acquaintance":
Old Acquaintance tells the story of Kit Marlowe and Millie Drake, childhood friends who pursue their passion for writing and become successful authors in different genres. Kit (played by Bette Davis) is renowned for her critically acclaimed yet emotionally intense novels, while Millie (played by Miriam Hopkins) achieves fame with her popular, light-hearted romantic novels.
As the years pass, their personalities become more apparent. Kit is seen as a serious and ambitious writer, always striving for perfection and critical success. On the other hand, Millie is more carefree and less concerned about artistic merit, focusing instead on commercial success and popularity. Despite their divergent approaches to writing, they remain close friends.
However, their friendship becomes strained when Kit's first husband, Rudd (played by John Loder), leaves her for Millie, causing deep wounds and a lasting rift between the two women. Years later, Kit is happily married to an older and understanding man named Preston (played by Gig Young), while Millie becomes involved with a young artist named Devery (played by Dolores Moran).
As time goes on, both women face personal and professional obstacles. Kit struggles with writer's block, unable to replicate the success she once had, and she becomes envious of Millie's continuous triumphs in the publishing world. Millie, on the other hand, begins to question her life choices and longs for a deeper, more meaningful relationship.

This success leads to renewed tensions between the two friends, sparking fierce competition and jealousy. Their once-strong bond is put to the ultimate test as they fight not only over their books but also over the course of their lives.
Ultimately, the tensions reach a breaking point. Kit and Millie must confront the truth about their desires, regrets, and the profound impact they have had on each other's lives. Through this emotional journey, they rediscover the true meaning of friendship, forgiveness, and personal fulfillment.
Old Acquaintance explores the complexities of ambition, success, and the evolving nature of relationships, highlighting the sacrifices and conflicts that come with pursuing one's passions in an ever-changing world.
