Norma Shearer nomination
29 June 2023
Young socialite Lally Marlett (Norma Shearer) is angered by her father who is divorcing her mother to marry another woman, Mrs. Beth Cheever. Later, she falls for Jack (Robert Montgomery), last name unknown. Then she finds out that he's Beth's son.

Norma Shearer got an Oscar nomination for this movie and would get the win with another movie. This is a pre-Code talkie. Obviously, all the marriage shenanigans would not get pass the Code. There are moments of great acting especially with mother daughter. There are also disappointing plot turns. It's a somewhat bumpy ride, but Norma Shearer does deliver.
