Comment
An opera singer (Gloria Swanson) thinks she is missing out on her big break because her singing lack passion as she has not experienced love. So she decides an affair with a handsome but notorious gigolo (Melvyn Douglas) is the answer. This is basically an early 1930's rom-com, with subtle rather than laugh out loud humour. In many ways the highlight of this pre-code film, is Gloria Swanson discovering her sexuality on a visit to Melvyn Douglas appartment. Whilst the plot is typical rom-con, the highlight is the performance of Gloria Swanson as she experiences love and sensuality.
