Other versions of this women's picture I have seen are creaky. This one is not melodrama, or doesn't play like it. It is drama, thanks to its title character.Gladys George is a sadly neglected actress who worked steadily for her short life. She was attractive but, as in this movie, willing to look like a sloven if the script called for that. Her gravely voice was unique. And what skills as an actress!The rest of this is more stylishly directed than other versions of "Madame X." But the other performers are mediocre.This is a must-see for a performance that truly ought to have won an Academy Award for Ms. George.
