Gloria Swanson spurns her suitor in Indiscreet when she realizes he is a cad and hopes to be done with the relationship. Unfortunately, he turns up again and her younger sister is in love with him. This creates quite a predicament for Gloria Swanson's character and she chooses to humiliate herself to save her sister and ends up risking her upcoming marriage to the man she loves.

Old movies are fascinating to me. This one seem very dated the first time I saw it and rather sappy in some spots. However, on second viewing, I was more acquainted with the style of this film from 1931 and I got more out of it. Gloria Swanson has fascinating eyes, and although I definitely would not say she's beautiful, she is interesting to watch. This film has grown on me and that's the mark of a film which has some substance to it. If you are a fan of 1930's movies, this is worth watching to check out Gloria Swanson in action. There's an hilarious performance by Maude Eburn as the aunt which livens things up. I give this movie a 75/100.
