Chance At Heaven (1933)

The young owner (Joel McCrea) of a small town gas station is engaged to a local beauty (Ginger Rogers). But when a pretty Manhattan socialite (Marian Nixon) moves into town for the summer, he's smitten and his fiancee moves aside. Based on a short story by Vina Delmar and directed by William A. Seiter (YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER), this pre-code romantic drama is an interesting oddity. You think you know exactly where it's going but then it surprises you by doing a 360 turn around and then it does another turn around going exactly where you thought it was going in the first place. Though it's never explicitly stated, there's an indistinct implication that an abortion may have taken place. Nixon's other woman isn't played as a man snatching femme fatale but a rather sweet if inexperienced girl trying to find her place in the world but with a domineering mother (Virginia Hammond) who attempts to control every aspect of her life. With Andy Devine and Ann Shoemaker.
