SPOILER ALERT Notes from my mother's diary, written in 1933 when the film first came out:

A triangle drama, in which a war-widow – since her husband is supposed to have died in the war, but not definitely reported dead – decides to satisfy both her conscience and her body by going away with the man she now loves. Of course out of the millions of hotels there are in the world, they go to stay at the one where husband is trying to recover from shell-shock.

He lives long enough to suspend her love affair and dies most unexpectedly!
