The Divorcee
Norma Shearer (The Women) stars in this black & white 1930s film. Warning it is damaged, so it's a rough cut. I watched for a movie club I'm in, and I didn't enjoy it. A woman who is happily married discovers that her husband got drunk one night and slept with someone. He then immediately leaves on a business trip. Left with all her questions and feelings she too get drunk and has an affair. When he returns they argue and she admits what's she has done. He know think she's impure - double standard. The go their separate ways and it gets a little boring here. We are to believe that divorce leads to her becoming a slut and drunk. I guess because she's nothing without her husband. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
