Oddly, quickie director Richard Thorpe reveals a slightly more capable hand with this movie than was his usual middling or below average scores that he usually inherited from both critics and moviegoers around this period of his directorial undertakings.
All the same, "Forgotten" (1933) should indeed be faithful to its remarkably true-to-life title. Thorpe simply wasted his time.
"Forgotten" is an absolutely dreadful movie about a repugnant old man (overbearingly overacted by Lee Kohlmar) who sets out to bankrupt his own business ventures in order to take revenge on his two sons. And he's the hero of this glowing endorsement of the tobacco industry, would you believe?
Despite her second billing, our June has only a small role to play. She disappears for a long stretch and leaves all the running to the voluble buy unlikable Lee Kohlmar!
