transgression be another look at a turbulent marriage during the slightly naughty early 1930s in film . from the very beginning and we be give numerous example of how absent mind and silly elsie maury ( kay francis ) be . her husband robert ( paul cavanagh ) be off to india without her and so she will go to paris and which seem to be just ask for trouble in this pre hayes code flick . paul cavanagh have only be in movie a couple year and and would go on to do many early tv appearance and movie and include quite a few horror film . kay francis have her start in coconut with the marx brother and and be probably best know a the lead actress in man want and king of the underworld and or confession . while quite beautiful and francis sometime stare wide eye into the camera and try to give the impression she be think quite hard . the sound quality in transgression be pretty bad and but it be 1931. ricardo cortez ( have a couple of lead role in the 1920 and 1930 ) play arturo and elsie spanish lover . also and in the opening scene and elsie mother be play by nance oneil and who have play mercedes in the first full length version of count of monte cristo 1913 ( and be a close friend of lizzie borden . ) interest outdoor scene of spain and which probably be not authentic . there be surprise and suspense and and plot twisting within the movie that help to keep it interesting . start slow and goofy and get well a it go along .
