The Divorcee - 1930 - 6/10
Ted cheats on Jerry, so Jerry has a quick fling of her own.
Ted, scandalized, demands a divorce!
Soon both are splashing in murky, hedonistic waters.
Pre-Code drama of manners alternates between sultry and stuffy
Norma Shearer is surprisingly sexy, while Chester Morris is an overstarched collar.
Viewed via a historical lens, this is illuminating, although other Pre-Codes are more fun.
