Movie Info

The first film version of Philip Barry's Broadway play The Animal Kingdom stars Ann Harding, Leslie Howard and Myrna Loy. Howard plays a wealthy publisher who decides to marry the socially prominent Loy, leaving his mistress Harding in the lurch. In comically convoluted fashion, Loy behaves like a callous libertine, while Harding is the soul of love and fidelity. The frustrated Howard declares at the end that he is going back to his "wife"--meaning, of course, the faithful Harding. Animal

Though its dialogue seems stiff by today's standards its dramatics still remain adult.

Basically a pre-code film stage play. Everyone is a bit stiff but the content is racy especially considering the time and all the women, particularly Myrna Loy are beautifully gowned.

65/100. Slow moving but well produced and it has a good cast. Ann Harding comes off best, Myrna Loy does well. A bit too talky and curiously claustrophobic. Fine art direction. Ilka Chase has a good bit.
