U.S., 1932
Directed by John Francis Dillon
With Clara Bow, Gilbert Roland

Clara Bow’s feisty Texas heiress takes a whip to childhood pal Gilbert Roland, brains the husband she married for spite with a stool, gets in a catfight with Thelma Todd, drops in on the screen’s first bona fide gay bar, and romps with an excited Great Dane — and we don’t mean Hamlet. “Enough melodrama for three movies.” – David Stenn

Restored 35mm print courtesy MoMA.

Reviews

“Bow’s vixenish charisma that takes center stage.”
