Storyline

The two lovers are living together and are not married as they hesitantly explain to her brother. They had made a promise as children to get married when they grew up, but they "didn't wait." It's an important plot point as it drives Cooper's actions when he discovers that Crawford and Young are living in sin. Written by Brian Black

Goofs

Anachronisms: Although the story takes place in England, during the World War I period (1916), 'Joan Crawford''s hairstyles and clothes are all strictly contemporary, including some very striking Adrian creations that were the very trademark of the time and place when it was being filmed (Hollywood, 1933.)

Quotes

Bogard: [Concerned about McGinnis' drinking] You better start drinking water.
McGinnis: Water? Water? Have you forgotten the Johnstown Flood? The poor women! The children!
