Indiscreet (1931)
6/10
So-so vehicle for a lively Gloria Swanson
30 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This early-1930s film is modern in some aspects (a woman dumps her unworthy boyfriend on New Year's Eve and prefers to celebrate the new year alone), dated in others (the same woman makes a lot of fuss about having a previous affair when she meets a new man). It's nothing special story-wise, but it's smoothly directed by Leo McCarey, and Gloria Swanson is beautiful, lively and expressive (only her singing is not so hot). There is a funny sequence that has her pretending to be crazy at a high-class party. The final gag will probably leave you with a smile on your face. **1/2 out of 4.
