Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This early Capra melodrama plays as a tear-jerker. Stanwyck has an illegitimate child by politician Menjou, whose refusal to leave his invalid wife forces the single mother into a marriage of convenience with the unscrupulous Bellamy. He in turn threatens to ruin Menjou by revealing his infidelities, bullish tactics that prove no match for Stanwyck's obsessive love. Unsophisticated and hammy, it's a soap opera that hasn't stood the test of time.
