Claudette Colbert and Clive Brook get married in Paris during the War. Then he heads back to the front and disappears. Miss Colbert gives birth and eventually takes up with Charles Boyer. One day, a few years after the War, they're on holiday in Switzerland, where a local doctor points out a patient of his, a man who should be dead, but refuses to die. It's Brook.

Here's a pretty kettle of fish, with Miss Colbert caught between two handsome men in a pre-code movie! Will she side with Brook, her legal husband and father of her child, or stay with the man who didn't abandon her? And did Brook abandon her?

Both director Berthold Viertel and Boyer seem to have arrived in Hollywood to take advantage of the industry's making multiple version of movies, one for each language, and stayed for various reasons. Boyer became the resident romantic Frenchman. Brook continued working in the movies through the 1940s. Viertel went back to London and, after the next war, to Germany; Miss Colbert had a breakout year in 1934, and other players in this typically well stocked Paramount programmer like Andy Devine and Alan Mowbray kept on working.

As for this one, it's people behaving in a civilized manner or essentially uncivilized behavior. It clearly had a market. I'm not a member.
