a rare chance to see Mary Nolan |

I gave this film 3 stars because it is a chance to see the beautiful but notorious Mary Nolan in a first rate film. <br><br>When talking pictures first came in, there were quite a few of these "tea-cup" dramas made and they don't really hold up today. <br><br>Acting appears stiff and wooden but to me the highlight of the film is Ruth Chatterton and Mary Nolan. Ruth Chatterton (who definately deserves to be re-discovered) plays Kathryn, whose husband Robert (Clive Brook) is having a sparkling affair with Ann Marie (Mary Nolan). <br><br>There are some quite snappy lines and being a W. Somerset Maugham play it is resolved quite wittily. <br><br>Chatterton is excellent of course but Mary Nolan is wonderful. She more than held her own with the stellar cast and proved she could have been a top star if scandal hadn't got in her way!!!
