-after the honeymoon- Mae:"Jimmy,I've never been so happy in all my life" -Jimmy: "I've never been so tired in all my life - come on"....Mae: "it'll only take me 5 minutes to pack" Jimmy: "I'll be dead in 3". Suggestive pre-code dialog rocks, and it does this all the way in "Virtue" which I recorded direct to DVD off TCM and love, love, love. It all comes around of course, even after "sister" gets hauled off to jail for picking up men - refuses to see her newlywed husband in the hoosegow and is even slapped for her misdeeds -- all within 3 minutes ! Lots of boozing, mistreatment of women, hooking, accusation, forgiveness, re-accusation and eventual re-forgiveness with great interior and exterior photography and rumbling '30s taxicabs.
