Steven Gaye (Herbert Marshall) is a famous playwright who has just written a play about a May-December romance. However, as he works on the story, real life begins to intrude as the actress starring as the young lady in love with the older man, Linda (Sylvia Sidney), begins to actually fall in love with Steve. But Steve is a practical man and sees little future in this and encourages a young beau to pursue her as well. Sadly, when Steve and Linda get what they want, they don't seem to want it any more. What exactly does this mean? See the film.
This is a mildly enjoyable old film that surprised me. The ending seems pretty much in line with Pre-Code sensibilities...so imagine my surprise when it turns out to be a Production Code movie...coming out the year following the implementation of the tough Production Code. Worth seeing and quite interesting, mostly because Marshall is great in most anything.
