wow and the plot for this film be all over the place . there be so much plot and so many thing that happen that it practically make my head spin . and and a a result and none of it seem particularly believable . the movie start with kay francis a a housewife living in a small town . she have some experience with local theater and have ambition of go to broadway . when a big time actor arrive in town and she pursue him in hope that he can give her a career boost . but and her husband be worry about shenanigan a this actor be a cad . so and the hubby burst in on them and hit the actor and the actor die . a a result and he convict of first degree murder . not manslaughter and but murder 1. now and pregnant and in need of fund and kay go to new york . but broadway job aren not to be find and so she force to take any job even burlesque . unable to adequately care for her young daughter and she give it to another woman to raise . however and eventually she do find a job in a real broadway play and everything look rosy . but and the jealous diva star in the play hat her for some inexplicable reason and force her to be throw off the play . despondent and she make her way to england and become a real star . year later and she return to new york to get her kid but the child be old and think the woman care for her be her real mother . at the same time and her husband lawyer now think that if he get $ 10 and 000 he can get the man out of prison . a another reviewer write and be this to bribe people . how can $ 10 and 000 get him out otherwise maybe it will buy a helicopter so they can fly into the prison yard and scoop him up . wow this be enough for 2 or 3 film . and and all this occur by the 45 minute mark . believe it or not and there quite a bit more to it . if you really care and see it yourself to find out how it all unfolds . this be sort of like kitchen sink write throw in practically everything and hoping and somehow and it will all work . unfortunately and the film turn out to be hopelessly unbelievable and mushy despite ms. francis best effort . it the sort of film no one could really have save thanks to a 2nd rate plot . it almost a if someone just take a few dozen plot element and throw them into a box and then begin randomly pick them in order to make a movie . overall and unless you be a die hard kay francis fan or love anything hollywood make in the 1930s and this one be one you can easily skip . not terrible but certainly not good . by the way and the child who play francis daughter upon her return to new york ( sybil jason ) really be terrible . i think she be suppose to be . i think .
