I don't why but I always associated Helen Hayes as some matronly sweet grandmother type lady. Well, as a young women, she apparent was no lady, at least with her showing in this movie. I guess it was "ahead of it's time" in its morals. The film might be 1931 but it's about a woman and a guy who run off the Paris, never marry, but have a child. He returns home before the child is even born and leaves her. She then becomes the mistress of a wealthy cook, then is sent out in the streets again.
This is real soap opera stuff, through and through, and a bit seedy at that. It must have been pretty shocking the audiences when it was released.
