Kind Lady (1935)
4/10
Film less than kind to viewer

Warning: Spoilers
This movie did not turn out to be what I expected -- a heartwarming story of generosity of the heart and spirit. Instead, it was a horrendous film about taking advantage of kind-hearted woman who just wants to be left alone to enjoy some solitude.

What is supposed to be the moral of this one? My guess: it doesn't pay to be kind to strangers. They'll only take advantage of such kindness, robbing you blind while administering emotional torture.

Wow, this one sure does convince its viewer of the soundness of believing in humanity, NOT!!

I only thought to watch this one because of my fondness for actress Aline MacMahon. I thought it would be fun to see her in a starring role, not just supporting, but this one is bad regardless of her presence.

I'm dumbfounded to discover that this story was revisited in 1951. There's nothing enjoyable about seeing someone being manipulated and taken advantage of for a kind gesture.
