Break of Hearts - 1935 ***

 
Oh I really did enjoy this. I love Charles Boyer and although Katherine H can be a complete pain in a lot of her work she complemented him extremely well. I found myself desperate for the two of them to stay together.
Roberti is a famous conductor and a bit of a ladies man to put it mildly. It is a rare occurrence for an evening to pass without him in the company of a beautiful woman. When he meets Constance she isn't exactly the stunner you would expect him to go for (no offence Miss Hepburn) but she loves him dearly and respects and adores his work, and he in turn loves her free spirit and humour.
Despite the fact that Roberti has given up his philandering ways, Constance cannot help but think the worst when she spots him out at a nightclub with another woman. She immediately leaves him, and this causes him to completely crumble into a depression that no one can get him out of. Will she go back to him? Charles Boyer is one of the gentlest actors I have seen on the screen, so to watch him in a series of painful scenes is too much to bear.
