1932 - Merrily We Go To Hell






Title: Merrily We Go To Hell
Release Date: 10 June 1932
Director: Dorothy Arzner
Cast: Sylvia Sidney, Fredric March, Adrienne Allen, George Irving, Cary Grant
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023213/
My Rating:  (7/10) ★★★★★★★✩✩✩

At the tender age of 22, breathtaking Sylvia Sidney plays the hopeful innocent turned lonely wife of handsome Fredric March, here battling a severe drinking problem. It's Leaving Las Vegas with a happy ending and set in the theatre. March shows he can tackle comedy and drama with equal strength years before he was to win the first acting Tony. Sylvia Sidney, whose eyes say volumes, matches him with great gusto. Let us not forget Cary Grant in a very minor role, who you can tell by his presence and the way the camera loves him that he was destined for great things.
