It's hard to deny that pre-code films were daring, and this is certainly an example of that. Norma Shearer, Chester Morris, and Robert Montgomery portray characters who are remarkably unreliable in their affections. Jerry, played by Shearer, has been married to Ted (Morris), but his infidelity has become a problem. Simultaneously, Paul (Conrad Nagel) is struggling with guilt over a car accident he caused while drunk that left his wife, Dorothy (Judith Wood), injured. After tiring of her husband’s affairs, she reciprocates with Don (Robert Montgomery) and then, perhaps naively, tells him everything, requesting a divorce. The central question becomes whether Jerry truly returns Don's affections, or if her feelings still lie with her former spouse. There are moments when the film feels pointedly ironic, which I appreciated, and some sparks of chemistry between the actors, but overall the narrative felt somewhat artificial. Shearer doesn’t have enough substantial dialogue to make a real impact, and her character suffers from an unsteady plot that promises more than it provides. Morris effectively portrays his character's struggles with alcohol; Montgomery exudes a quiet but undeniable allure, and Nagel manages to convey a lot through subtle expressions. However, the whole thing feels disjointed. The film explores various sensitive subjects, but not with quite enough energy, and ultimately the characters come across as rather superficial and well-suited to one another—except for Wood, who seems like the only genuinely decent person among them! The theatrical style of performance and filming hasn’t aged particularly well, but it's still worth seeing.
