Child of Manhattan - 1933 ***

 
Nancy Carroll is just the sweetest thing ever, and you can't help but be drawn to her every time she is on the screen. When dancer Madeleine meets rich playboy Paul, she immediately falls for him, even going so far as to give up her job to live as a kept woman. But things go downhill when she falls pregnant and Paul insists that they marry for social reasons. Madeleine is by now convinced that he doesn't really love her and is only with her for the sake of the baby, so decides to get a divorce in Mexico, a move that doesn't go down at all well with Paul.
Enjoyable and daring for it's time. Worth a watch for cutie Carroll.
