Sa vie secrète

Linda (Kay Francis) is single. Robert (Patric Knowles) is married to an invalid, so he has taken to secretly meeting Linda. there are some curve-balls and surprises in here; can't say too much. just remember that the film code was in full force about now, so when one steps over the line, there will probably be recrimination. of course, some of it did take place in england. some fun co-stars in here.. Roland Young was nominated for Topper, and Henry Stephenson was always the wise old uncle or grandfather. Leaving her past behind, Linda marries Jim (George Brent) when she moves to america, and has (so far) been understanding about Linda having a mysterious past. One of the SIX films Kay Francis and George Brent made together in the 1930s. this one is fun and well done. lots of secrets, and things going on behind the scenes. a real chemistry between the actors. Directed by archie mayo...directed many silents, but his best known work was probably Petrified Forest. which oddly didn't win any awards, even with all those big names. i hope they show this one more. good stuff.
