Celui-ci l'oriente vers sa femme, Madeleine, qui s'avère être le véritable auteur des articles du journaliste, ce dont se rend vite compte Duroy. Désormais surnommé "Bel Ami", Georges devient l'amant de Clotilde de Marelle, rencontrée au dîner, qui comprend vite qu'il est un séducteur. Après le décès de Charles Forestier atteint de tuberculose, Georges épouse sa veuve et profite à son tour de ses talents de chroniqueuse.

Geoffrey Wolfe (Herbert Marshall), a writer similar to Maugham, tells the story of Charles Strickland (George Sanders). A mediocre, seemingly unassuming London stockbroker, Strickland suddenly gives up his career, wife of 17 years (an uncredited Molly Lamont), and children and moves to Paris. Mrs. Strickland asks Wolfe to bring him back. To Wolfe's surprise, Strickland has not run away with another woman (as he had been told), but because Strickland feels compelled to become a painter. He exhibits no remorse or shame about abandoning his family and refuses to return to his old life, whereupon his wife divorces him. Despite his strong disapproval of Strickland's callous behavior, Wolfe is intrigued.
