Disgraced (1933)
7/10
Rather Pre-Code in its sensibilities.
12 January 2020
Gay (Helen Twelvetrees) is a model. When showing off some clothing, Kirk Underwood (Bruce Cabot) sees her and is instantly smitten. While he is supposedly in love with another woman, he begins dating Gay and convinces her he's only interested in her. However, he's a dog and has only one thing on his mind...and it's not marriage! Eventually, she realizes what he's been doing to her...and she's intent on killing him for stealing her virtue. But someone else beats her to it. What exactly occurs? See it for yourself.

A lot is implied in this movie and in this sense, it's very clearly a Pre-Code film. What also is Pre-Code in sensibilities is that his murder in the end isn't clearly punished...something the newer Production Code would definitely require. Rather interesting and with a highly unusual ending. It's worth seeing.
