Norma Shearer without her characteristic nervous titter is beautiful and reasonably capable as Nina Leeds, particularly toward the end of the picture as the woman of 40. Clark Gable, perceptibly fatter, is Ned Darrell, the lover. Alexander Kirkland is Sam Evans, the husband. Ralph Morgan has kept his stage part of "dear old Charlie" Marsden, the epicene friend. May Robson as Sam's mother booms compellingly. The modernistic set of Nina's Park Avenue home is excellent. Noteworthy are frequent transparency shots which require a previously photographed background to be fitted to the foreground by the use mainly...
