- Quotes
[first lines]
Mr. Ledyard: [on the telephone] But Carol, this bank is your guardian. We're living in 1932, but you persist in spending money as if it were still '29, before the crash. You've forced me to eliminate your charities - even your father's most beloved project - the Morgan Home for Girls.
Carol Morgan: [lounging on her silk sheets] Fine. I don't believe in delinquent girls - silly weaklings.
Mr. Ledyard: But our records show that twenty-nine percent of them went on the street because they didn't have a bed to sleep in.
Carol Morgan: Oh, nonsense. They've just no character. Neglect your character and you lose your self-respect. Go out into the streets and you end up in the gutter - where I might add, you jolly well deserve to end up.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Complicated Women (2003)
After starting conventionally enough with her as a dizzy young heiress - who we're told is 24 but was actually thirty and if anything looks even older - who loses all her money (a relatively young-looking Hugh Herbert is remarkably effective at this point as an abrasive would-be sugar daddy), this extremely misleadingly-titled film proves for MGM to be a surprisingly raw look at life on the breadline with her new husband Robert Montgomery (two years younger than her but looking even younger) and forced to sell herself on the streets to pay her doctors bills. (Thank goodness that wouldn't happen now in the 21st Century.)
Being Tallulah she really seems too worldly & resilient to convincingly put up with the woes the Depression throws her way; which now force her to sell to the highest bitter what in reality she enthusiastically gave away for free. And of course it has one of those 'happy' endings which in reality solve nothing...
