Herbert Hoover was still President and the Depression was at its most depressing when this delicious wallow in uptown romance hit the Bijou, featuring an electric performance by young Bette Davis as a society girl also enamored of the writer.

It wasn't the end of the Chatterton-Brent relationship, either: the on-screen lovers married soon after the film opened.
