Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film rights to the novel were first offered to MGM, but they passed due to its racy content. Charles R. Rogers purchased the rights in August 1930 and produced this as an independent film but sold the distribution rights to RKO after he was made chief executive of RKO-Pathé in January 1931.
- GoofsThe beginning of the film is supposed to be set around 1914 and continues through the next 17 years until 1931, but the females of the cast wear strictly 1931 fashions all the way through. Likewise, the popular music played at the night club, as well as the interior design, is also strictly 1931, regardless of the year it's taking place.

Featured review
Poor Millie!
Poor Millie! She marries for love - not money - and still ends up unlucky in love. There's something intriguingly contemporary about her consistently entering into bad relationships. Also contemporary is her decision to live with her boyfriend instead of marrying him - even though he does offer to marry her.
Helen Twelvetrees has the ability to make the heroine's story somewhat compelling despite the film's plodding structure. John Halliday is very appealing as Twelvetrees' suitor until his character turns surprisingly into a cad.
So what's the moral of this "woman's picture?" Millie is so hurt by her broken marriage that perhaps she errs in writing off her unfaithful husband so quickly. In him she may have found the only decent male character in the story.
