Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is pure pre-Code Hollywood: sin on screen, punishment by credits, but the sin gets SCREEN TIME. The Hays Code would have buried this plot by 1934.
Barbara Kent was a silent film star who barely survived the transition to talkies; this was one of her last leading roles before she walked away from Hollywood entirely.
