- Doris Blake (Carole Lombard) works as a top model for Louis (Pierre de Ramey) in a very chic New York City dress shop. Her boyfriend Jimmie Martin (Chester Morris) is a mechanic. When he comes to pick her up, he talks about marriage, but she argues they both have no money. At a picnic, they quarrel again, and he breaks up with her.
Later, Doris meets the very rich, very eccentric Claire Kinkaid (Adrienne Ames) at the shop. To Doris's surprise, Claire does not much care for her own lavish lifestyle. Claire asks her if she has a boyfriend; when Doris tells her they broke up, Claire tells her that a boyfriend is the only thing she wants. Jimmie is standing outside. When Doris and Claire step out, he pretends to be fixing a fancy car, which turns out to be Claire's. When he wishes he could drive it, she invites him to do just that. Then, she offers him a job as her chauffeur. He accepts because he wants a change of scenery, far away from Doris.
Later, Jimmie drives Claire to a charity fashion show, where Doris is one of the models. Jimmie has to leave before she goes on. Doris "borrows" a swimsuit and goes for a swim before the show. She meets Eric Nelson (Walter Byron). When he becomes too fresh and kisses her, Doris slaps him, twice, and swims away. Eric sees her modeling. At the end of the party, she meets his wife. Eric assures her they will be divorcing soon. On their way home, Claire proposes to Jimmie, and promises him a wonderful time in her 50 room mansion; he says "Aw, I don't want to marry anybody!"
Meanwhile, Eric gets Doris to go out with him night after night. Her father becomes fed up with her (albeit innocent) involvement with a married man and throws her out. When Jimmie finds out Doris has been thrown out, he tells Claire he is quitting. Claire inquires if his quitting is because of the girl he cannot forget, then, again, asks him again to marry her. This time, he accepts.
When Doris reads in the newspaper that Jimmie and Claire have wed and she is upset. Previously, had turned down jewelry from Eric, now she accepts his gifts, an apartment, and lavish spending on her. Doris also acquires an unwanted admirer, Eric's friend Ridgeway (Cary Grant), who has grown tired of his girl, Lil (Rita LaRoy). Lil confides to her friend Doris that she's in love with Ridgeway; Doris claims she will never again love a man. Lil, knowing she's lost Ridgeway, takes poison and dies.
Jimmie and Doris each in their own way live the fast life. They run into each other at a restaurant. He lashes out at her verbally and stalks out. Then, Ridgeway shows up with the news that Eric has patched things up with his wife. Ridgeway gives her a check from Eric and makes it clear he expects to take Eric's place. Doris tells him to get out. Jimmie tells Claire he finally realizes what he is, a kept man. They part amicably.
Eric returns from Europe and finds Doris working as a dressmaker, and tells her that he has gotten a divorce. He wants to get back with her and says, "I'll marry you if you want me to." Doris is not interested. Just then, Jimmie's dog finds her. Jimmie has struck out on his own in his own business. The couple reconcile.
A 1932 American black & white pre-Code romantic drama film directed by Alexander Hall, written by Waldemar Young and Samuel Hoffenstein, based on the short story "The Beachcomber" by Mildred Cram, starring Carole Lombard, Chester Morris, Adrienne Ames, Cary Grant, and Alison Skipworth. Mary Cooper, Lynn Browning, Dorothy Compton and Gale Ronn make their screen debuts. Produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. William C. de Mille was originally assigned to direct.
A slight, largely unamusing Thirties romantic comedy drama with a rather dreary, leaden script holds back the usually irrepressible Lombard, lumbering her with line after line of humourless dialogue, and Morris’s mannered performance hasn’t dated well. Watch out for Cary Grant making only his second screen appearance in a minor co-starring role as Eric’s friend Ridgeway, who has grown tired of his girl Lil (Rita LaRoy) and turns his attentions to Doris. Adrienne Ames scores strongly in an extravagant role as the rich, eccentric Claire Kinkaid, who marries Jimmie.
The Times called the film a "display of luxury", and that its chief merit is the "slickness of it luxurious accompaniment". They particularly praised the performance of Ames, writing: "Miss Adrienne Ames, though afflicted with dialogue of the utmost crudity, gives a genuine touch of character to the rich young woman whom our hero erroneously marries".
Mordaunt Hall, in his New York Times review, "Feminine fashions, fast automobiles and fine wines come to the fore in the course of the happenings ... In screen form it is a lavishly produced, trivial story with an abundance of acrimony ... Miss Lombard acts competently. Mr. Morris is miscast."
An unremarkable story of a couple poor people who think money is the answer and learn it isn't more important than love. - Фільми й анімація
Carole Lombard was an amazing beauty. It's no wonder that Clark Gable was so badly affected by her death. People say he was never the same afterwards.
Great early 1930's story, music, cars, beautiful women in gorgeous clothes and hair styles. Love this movie.
Glad you enjoyed it. I post 1930s movies here: ua-cam.com/play/PLk3CReZFhoBdsIcEWhsJSo1vDOVQ4tQq3.html
Her acting style was ahead of her time.
Roegr that. Welcome.
The trouble with being rich is they never know for certain why their spouses married them until they are married.
Ha hahaha ha right 😂😂
Well, I’ll never have that problem. 😂
Ha! Thanks for the visit!
Not really, rich marry rich.
@@MareShoopnot if you have class, sass, and savvy. Speaking from experience
This movie is a classic and the acting was excellent but then any movie with Lombard is. It was touching and I rate this movie a golden 10.
You do realize I’m not getting much done watching all these beautiful old movies, right? MERRY CHRISTMAS
Would loved to have hung out with Carole Lombard in her time.
Ha! Happy New Year!
Carole Lombard & Adrienne Ames 🥰 Chester Morris 👍 Lots of pretty faces too.Nice to see not everyone was selling apples on the street during the great depression. Loved this movie. Thank you.
Welcome.
Great visuals, wonderful pre-code. Many thanks!
Glad you like it!
There can be true love in this love- starved world. For the period, this is a small masterpiece. Love never ends.
Roger that. Welcome.
A restored version of this would be great, if only to see those incredible gowns! Notice that in the nightclub scene near the end, the orchestra is playing "One Hour With You", which if I'm not mistaken was another Paramount film. So the tune did "double duty".
Yes, that would be great. Thanks for watching!
Have you seen " That Touch of Mink"? It's worth watching just for the clothes. They're gorgeous.
Watched last night. VG. About life. Class, social mobility, opportunism. Thanks Donald P. Borchers.
Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
In my estimation, Lombard was the quintessential Hollywood goddess of the silver screen. Her appearance here is such an example.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What..a..cast!!!
Roger that. Welcome.

Precise reflection of reality!
Thanks for watching!

Welcome.
Wow, I never thought I'd say that Cary Grant was creepy, but he is, kind of, in this movie. Glad he never got typecast as the Ridgeway type.
Wish I had such creepy in my life!
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Chester Morris ❤
Welcome.
Square-jawed Chester Morris brings to mind the Dick Tracy cartoon character.
Where was Cary Grant ?
Chester Morris... all man ❤ Carole had lil artiface in her acting...
Thanks for watching!
Love the montages at 45:44 and 52:19!
Before Cary Grant got top billing 😮 #5
Couldn't figure out when he would make an appearance!
Thanks for watching!
Yes, but he is still a household name today whereas those billed above him are virtually unknown today.
very small part for the great Cary Grant but nice anyway
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the visit!
Very sweet 🍧
Thank you 😋
💚🙏😇🙏💚
👍
People's impulsive irratic behavior was fueled by the overuse of alcohol, alcohol abuse, so they're all running around from drink to drink, in a doozy of a boozy hazy daze. Those were the days 😜🤪
Ha! Thanks for the visit!
Ohh, she was playing hard.
Ha!
Jimmy was a jerk, Carole had a great voice and presence
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
He doesn't look like Cary Grant.
Thanks for watching.
Beautiful women in nice clothes and a dreary DOA script. 👎
Thanks for watching.
In the days girls looked like girls❤❤❤❤
Scandalo al sole?
