Lilyan Tashman died just 2 years after this film at the young age of 37. She started out as a young vaudevillian teen performer & a star at 17, she worked on the Broadway stage in the Ziegfeld follies for 2-3 seasons. Her happy last marriage was to actor Edmund Lowe who survived her. I only recently found Ms Tashmans films on KZbin & found her really an interesting actress.

Wow, Astor's expressions when he lied to her starting @42:39 was incredible acting. One could see and feel her disappointment that she knew the man she loved and trusted was lying. All actresses and wannabe actress should watch and study her movies. My only problem with this film was the constant music. To me it was distracting during dialog between the actors. I love classic movies, but this is the first I've seen whereas music was constant throughout and it annoyed me. Perhaps because Mary didn't need background music. The role she played didn't need to be enhanced!

What a great movie, I thought I'd seen all pf Mary Astor's films. If you read her life story it's heart breaking like this film without the happy ending. Torn apart in court and so much scandal in custody fight over her daughter I believe. "In 1936, Astor's career was nearly destroyed by scandal. She had an affair with playwright George S. Kaufman and was branded an adulterous wife by her former husband during a custody fight over their daughter. But you have to dig deeper because she kept a journal of her love affairs and yikes!!! Can you imagine it being blasted around the world. She had such depth. She lived til 1984 so good for her, so many things can you imagine? Thanks @PizzaFlix for a Supreme pre-code slice 🍕
