Set in England, a young woman (Kay Francis) has an affair with a married man (Patric Knowles). When she becomes pregnant, he and his wife (Frieda Inescort) adopt the baby as their own. She moves to New York where she marries but her guilt over giving up her child threatens her marriage. Based on the play SWEET ALOES by Joyce Carey and directed by Archie Mayo (THE PETRIFIED FOREST). Yes, it's Kay Francis suffering and suffering and suffering again. Not even her adoring husband (George Brent), her closet stuffed with glamorous designer clothes and a spacious New York apartment at a fancy address can ease her suffering! The poor dear! Not to worry, by the movie's end everything is tied in a neat little ribbon and Kay is happy again. If you're a Kay Francis fan (I'm quite partial to her) then you know what you're in for. As her good friend, the affable Roland Young is around to provide a few laughs to alleviate Kay's angst. With Henry Stephenson and Elspeth Dudgeon.
