The Lady Lies - 1929 - 6/10
Sales girl Joyce at the 5th Avenue store helps Walter pick out a gift for his 14-year-old daughter.
A fur coat (this must be pre-Depression).
Later, they form a friendship, then relationship.
Walter, corporate attorney, is widowed and upper class.
Their affair is quasi-scandalous, ruffling the genteel, as well as his blue-nosed children.
Walter Huston and Claudette Colbert fine as the ill-starred romantics in the early talkie.
Ruggles memorable as inebriated chum. Betty Garde steals every scene she is in.
