this film be one that play very well back in 1932 and probably wouldn not work as well today because it style it a bit old fashion and contrive . however and if you be the sort person and like me and who adore old hollywood film and you cut the film a bit of slack and can enjoy it for what it be an interesting soap . the film be set in a ward for problem pregnancy . in this large room be about a half dozen bed in which woman be wait to give birth but doctor be concern about possible complication ( yikes such a room would really traumatize the mother . ) . and and like an episode of love boat or fantasy island and each mother have her own special story . with so many rather extreme and crazy story and you have to suspend disbelief . i could and enjoy the film quite a bit . here be a few of the story represent one involve a father . you do not see the mom and but he be a very and very nervous father and it include for comic relief . however and he be wonderful here very touch . loretta young and eric linden be a sad case . loretta be send to the hospital from prison she apparently kill some horrible guy . you do not know exactly what occur and but you assume he be try to force himself on her . yet and she be give a 20 year sentence and her husband be devote to her and be by her side as much a he can . glenda farrell be an awful person . she have the maternal instinct of a hamster a really and really bad and alcoholic hamster . she be pretty funny and worth see through most of the film . i love her drinking from a hot water bottle fill with gin as well a become upset when she learn she can not make money sell her twin . late in the film and she have a typical hollywood style change of heart that be suppose to be touch i find it contrive . there be a woman who have give birth to a still bear baby . amazingly and afterwords and they put the lady back in the same ward a the woman wait to give birth . a crazy woman and who you assume lose a baby some time ago and wanders down from the psychiatric unit . she insist she have a baby . later and she escape again and actually take one of the kid . there be most story than this but the one i mention be the main one . a i say and it a soap opera of sort and be highly entertaining and quite sad in the case of several of the story . the end and in particular and be heart break and exceptionally well do . there be a few particularly good performance especially farrell and aline macmahon a the head nurse . all in all and a very good film and i have no idea why they felt they have to remake the film just a few year later ( which be typical for warner brother ) .
