In this scandalous pre-code, Lolly Murdock (Bennett) is a young woman anxious to escape her impoverished family. She quickly realizes that the easiest way to do that is by being "kept" by rich men. She begins an affair with afluent businessman William (Menjou), who keeps her in furs and expensive jewels.  Although this brings her the riches and lifestyle she has always dreamed of, it alienates her from the man she really loves (Montgomery) and her family. Especially her sister, Peg (Page), who married hard-working blue collar Nick (Gable), who bans Lolly from their house for her indecent behavior.

Quote-able Gable

"Hello, Billy! Peg gone to work yet?" first lines

"I don't like you looking so tired."

"Would you rather me have given you a ring? I made a payment on a lot instead!"

"I ain't stuck on having you drive up here in your fine cars and limousines. We ain't limousine people."

"You don't help Peg with the neighbors--they're wise. And you don't help my business none."

"Come on, Laura." last line

Behind the Scenes

Constance Bennett was apparently quite the diva on set and refused to even acknowledge the presence of Clark and Anita when the cameras weren't rolling. Clark remembered this and did not take too kindly of her flirting with him when they were more even on the star roster years later during the filming of After Office Hours.

Anita Page claimed that she and Clark had an affair during filming.
