    Though yet another version of the oft-told tale of Madame X, on the whole it is one of the better versions.
    If you haven't seen any of the Madame X s, this one is probably the one you should see first. (The one from 1929 is probably the worst.)

    It is the story of a woman who gives up her child for the sake of his reputation, and disappears from his life. Only to meet again in the end of the film.

    Lana Turner did a version in 1966. And then in the 1980s a TV movie was made!
