Man Wanted (1932)

A successful businesswoman (Kay Francis) runs a magazine while her playboy husband (Kenneth Thomson) plays polo. This arrangement suits them. But when she hires an attractive male secretary (David Manners), there's a sexual tension between them. Directed by William Dieterle (HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME), this was Kay Francis's first film for Warner Brothers where she would rank as one of their most popular stars in the early and mid 1930s. This pre code melodrama deals openly with adultery and doesn't judge its characters. There's not much one can say about this movie other than if you're a Kay Francis fan, this should be right up your alley. As a film, it's of interest principally because of its pre-code attitude toward infidelity. With Una Merkel, Andy Devine, Claire Dodd and Elizabeth Patterson.
