Anybody's Woman

Doubtless one of the reasons it was felt that there was a pressing need for a production code in 1930 was that Hollywood was still habitually depicting respectable Americans nonchalantly consuming alcohol a full ten years after it had been criminalised; the perils of drink in this particular case being hammered home by the fate of Lawyer Neil Dunlap who wakes up one morning with a massive hangover and a hefty new wife.

As Dunlap's new spouse Ruth Chatterton seems to have been accidentally sent a script meant for Mae West, since first seen she's strumming a ukelele and next thing she's doing an Apache dance. As the film progresses Miss Chatterton's dress sense improves considerably (would that the same could said for her common sense since every time she raises a glass to her lips she returns straight to zero).

For those seeking subversive content the fact that the seductive Other Woman is actually Dunlap's first wife should keep them busy.
