It's doubtful that this melodrama, in which Norma Shearer challenges society's double standards about sexual mores by flirting with several men, could have been made after 1934 due to strictures of the Production Code.

Refreshingly excited about female sexuality for a Hollywood movie, though pretty tame stuff all in all.

Hysterical early talkie melodrama.

Surpisingly strong, effective early talkie from usually tepid MGM

Mesmo que supostamente denuncie o machismo da época, o próprio filme é machista, moralista e repleto de personagens desprezíveis, sendo verdadeiramente repugnante.

A movie about, essentially, the perils of revenge sex (for women, at least).
