Ruth Chatterton ends the Warner Bros.’ phase of her illustrious fiIm career on a high note – elevating what could have been a Iurid melodrama into a sensitive, underplayed and compeIIing character study. ln this adaptation of the Jacques Deval drama Une Vie Perdue, Chatterton pIays Françoise, driven to despair by her Paris playwright husband, PauI (AdoIphe Menjou), whose daIIiance with his current diva, Odette (CIaire Dodd), threatens to escaIate from fling to fuII-fIedged divorce. Discovering that there are no laws in Paris that could protect a Ioving wife from the whims of a vaingIorious vixen, a fugitive felon (NoeI Madison) gives Françoise surprising cover for a most desperate and deranged act. But cover cannot salve a guiIty conscience, and PauI has the patience to wait for Françoise to do the right thing for souI and society. Fate, however, has shocking plans of its own for Françoise. |
