Maureen O'Hara was featured in John Farrow's A Bill of Divorcement (1940), a remake of George Cukor's 1932 film. O'Hara portrayed Sydney Fairchild, who was played by Katharine Hepburn in the original. The production became difficult for O'Hara after Farrow reportedly made "suggestive comments" to her and began stalking her at home; once he realized that O'Hara was not interested in him sexually, he began bullying her on set. O'Hara punched him in the jaw one day, which put an end to the mistreatment.
Farrow seemed to think he was entitled to Irish women named Maureen; his wife was actress Maureen O’Sullivan, with whom he had seven children.

I only watched this movie because of the youtube disclaimer : " Please have in mind that this is a 1940s film that shows beliefs, thinking and behavior from a bygone era". Well, I for one have beliefs, thoughts and behaviors more in line with that era. I'm not saying that divorce should be forbidden when one person truly wants out. To force keep the marriage would only result in misery for both. HOWEVER, at least they took marriage and divorce seriously in the 1940's, much more so than today. Overall I believe they had a much better understanding of love in those days.

The point of this old fashioned movie is that she is bound to do "the right thing" in that day, when, if you had a parent or relatives who were considered mentally ill, you were considered to be damaged goods-. That is, mental illness was thought to be inherited (which some of it actually is), and therefore, a person could be accused of withholding pertinent information when marrying. It could be grounds for annulment. It's ridiculous to think this is about divorce. It's about inherited mental health conditions. She gives up her life as a wife and potential mother to nurse her mentally ill father. She sacrifices her personal desires for the sake of society. Surely you aren't so naïve.
@lornahuddleston145316 күн бұрын
How silly. You missed the whole point of this movie. This is not a story about divorce. It's a story about passing on genetic mental illness through procreation. Whether it's morally or ethically acceptable to have children when you know there is illness in your immediate family. 🤔

Well, it certainly makes us think deeply about issues of mental health and what marriage means. The movie was made in 1940, the daughter about 20, and her father didn't know about her, so he was considered incurably insane for 20 years. That's long enough for his wife to wait, especially since she never loved him. I was glad for her happiness and respect the daughter's courage. And glad that we have a better understanding of mental illness today.

I couldn't agree with the basic premise of the movie. The Adolph Menjou character supposedly did suffer from shell shock which led to mental illness. That was quite common and does not mean that he had defective genes. Everyone has a breaking point, and many men find theirs in war. And then his improvement seemed to imply that he wasn't too far gone after all. That should have given Maureen O'Hara hope about the prospects for her children, not utter despair. And I'll add that his aunt who apparently also broke, for never specified reasons, could very well be a one-off who had some unspecified horrific trauma, as many families can point to at least one person who had a breakdown, particularly if they are big families and people used to often have big families in that time period.
@kathyflorcruz552 Жыл бұрын
It depends on how people react to circumstances. In this case they didn't know much about shell shock & this was just one explanation as to why the character took so long to recover - genetics. It's not meant to insult anyone suffering. People shouldn't take such offense. Anyone who says "the science is settled" is ridiculous.

Schizophrenia and manic depression are hereditary. Scientists and drs knew this then and now. Both are thought to be 90% genetic, usually dx'd in late teens and early 20's. Now there are treatments but no cure. Back then only madness. It took years before divorce in these situations was even legal. In this story the dr made it clear having known the family that it WAS hereditary, two generations that he knew of and they all hinted at the daughter's impulsive behavior. The father did NOT recover. Just look at his behavior.

The stupidest part of this is the mother's ridiculous martyrdom. No reason other than overgrown suffering and martyrdom expected of women and mother's then.

Marriage cannot be a millstone around the neck of someone who is effectively living in a fantasy world. This is akin to expecting widows to be sealed up in a tomb with their dead husband! I also revise my opinion about Sydney, the daughter, staying with her psychotic father. No way should she have to be his nurse and shrink. Hilary is a very sick man who requires round the clock assistance from a team of professionals. It's preposterous to hang this man's well-being on one woman who is not even qualified to keep him physically safe from self harm. The mother's decision to cave in after her wrong-headed minister says he won't recognize the lawful divorce, is nonsense. She needs a new minister! Case Closed. 😅

No. You obviously have no idea what it's like for families who suffer mental illness. This isn't just some weakness that inner strength will cure. This is treatable but so far not curable by modern medicine.

@@kathleenmurphy6009 Similar to other ailments, many brain/mental disturbances are linked to diet, gut health, toxicities and/or nutrient deficiencies. Look for example into the work of Nutritional Psychiatrist Georgia Ede, as well as strides made by Natasha C.McBride (GAPS diet). In SCIENCE OF FASTING documentary it is for example also mentioned how deeply depressed patients would recover simply by fasting. 'Wheat Schizophrenia/ Bread Madness' was coined more than 5 decades ago... Sadly the chemical concoctions prescribed to those suffering from mental problems mostly do more harm than good.

Not as good as the 1932 version, but not bad. It lacks the intensity and edge of the original, but that's probably due to the Hayes code. Although I do prefer this ending because it has Sidney joining in on the piano. Both movies end on a seemingly happy note but to me, they are tinged with a feeling that both father and daughter will at some point go mad. 😕

Excellent acting and a noble message of self-sacrifice for the good of a loved one. However, this 1940 movie's plot clearly reveals that the divorce culture had already started by the 1930s, since there were already three exceptions that could be made to the wedding vows. So, "for better or for worse" meant nothing to Hilary's wife. The plot was also unrealistic. I highly doubt that even back then, an insane person in two successive generations meant that the members of the next generation shouldn't have children. A totally contrived and ridiculous plot element.

Nope, not an invented plot point. At that time, the hereditary trend of insanity was apparent and medically advised against. US Supreme court had ruled for sterilizations in 1927 - Three generations of imbeciles are enough....

I watched almost half and read the comments, then forward to the last 5 min. and never went back to watch the whole movie. I did NOT like the ending at all, so glad I didn't waste my time. I know not all movies have great endings & a lot of sad, but, I'm not in the mood today to watch this type of movie, so I didn't. Dame May Witty is in a lot of movies. I especially like "My Name is Julia Ross". Watched it at least 20 times.
