It's doubtful that this melodrama, in which Norma Shearer challenges society's double standards about sexual mores by flirting with several men, could have been made after 1934 due to strictures of the Production Code.

Mesmo que supostamente denuncie o machismo da época, o próprio filme é machista, moralista e repleto de personagens desprezíveis, sendo verdadeiramente repugnante.

Refreshingly excited about female sexuality for a Hollywood movie, though pretty tame stuff all in all.

Surpisingly strong, effective early talkie from usually tepid MGM

[Shearer] certainly deserved her Oscar for this one.
