The Purchase Price - 1932 ***


Joan is fed up with her life as a torch singer and her dodgy relationship with a hoodlum named Ed. On a whim, she takes the position of her cleaner who is off to marry someone she met through the personal adds. Arriving in North Dakota she weds local wheat grower Jim who is everything she doesn't want in a man. And she isn't the willing bride he had hoped for. 
The relationship is strained to breaking point, so when Ed arrives unannounced it threatens everything. 
Enjoyable Stanwyck drama. George Brent is tiring after a while however and has hardly any traits of a leading man.
