Featured review
Surprisingly dark
Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins pair up together again after their dynamic chemistry in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the romance All of Me. Once again, the sparks fly between them, especially in their steamy scenes. Freddie plays a respectable college professor, and Miriam is his tempting, free spirit student. He wants to marry, but she refuses. She's convinced that once a couple marries, all the love drains out and they wind up hating each other.
While dining in a nightclub, they overhear the urgent conversation at a neighboring table. George Raft and his girlfriend, Helen Mack, are in trouble. They're poor, he's an ex-con, and Helen's pregnant. It's a chance encounter, but one that changes everything between the two couples. The first half of the movie seems like a harmless little romance, but after George and Helen show up, it turns into a very heavy drama. It's extremely dark, and it slipped just under the mandatory Production Code enforced later that year. Have a comedy lined up for after this movie, because it's tough to watch. But if you're a George Raft fan, you might want to check it out.
