Directed by George Cukor • 1932 • United States
Starring Constance Bennett, Joel McCrea, Paul Lukas
Fresh from her success in WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD? (also directed by George Cukor), Constance Bennett, one of the most popular Hollywood stars of the 1930s, suffered nobly for this moving maternal melodrama, the result of a notoriously troubled production that nevertheless contains plenty of pre-Code pleasures. She stars as Broadway diva Judy Carroll, who loses custody of an orphaned baby after testifying in a notorious embezzlement case. To cope with her loss, she coproduces a play that mirrors her own life experiences, along the way pursuing a seemingly impossible affair with a married playwright (Joel McCrea).
