Thank you for this! It's a treat, to find a Charles Boyer film that I've never seen. 🌹 It was a formula in Hollywood that era, to make adultery palatable, the wife is demonized, the girl innocent, and the husband, well meaning. The notion of people falling madly in love, as though they caught a virus or something...helpless over it. The adulterers are justified. By pushing this theme, they planted the idea in the minds of thousands of young ladies, making them susceptible to the wolves...still a good movie. 🌹
Here we have good example what Hollywood was able to convey, that the Marriage vows don't matter "for better or worse", to an unsuspecting audience. And to do so, they used some very popular and well liked Actors.
It is very sneaky that married man pursues single woman not telling her that he is married>>< it is highly unethical, no matter how sad and lonely he is -- just tell the truth right away and not when it is too late.
Films from this era often glorified adultery. The theme is usually the same, she is innocent, he is unhappy in his marriage, the wife is evil, so it's made palatable. So many of these, obviously made by men.
Lovely melodrama that was new to me! ****Spoiler alert! Wow! I don’t see this the way many other people do! She didn’t follow him to Paris; she remained behind. There was no evidence they committed adultery! Isn’t it plausible that they fell in love but their personal high moral standards forbade them from acting in an untoward manner? Irene Dunne’s character explained it when she refused to go with him. Did you see something that I didn’t or are you making an assumption we must conclude that something occurred due to the Hayes Censorship Code?
Plot- A married pianist (Charles Boyer) deserts his mentally troubled wife when he falls in love with a pretty waitress (Irene Dunne). Awards Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing Initial release August 11, 1939
Boyer and Dunne made a famed rom com, remade in color but with no pizzazz by Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr...zero chemistry...also in another romcom, the latter two, about a foreign princess and a Mideast oil deal. Dunne's "Theodora Goes Wild", somewhat feminist, is peak...Melvyn Douglas, Spring Byington...
Theodora Goes Wild is an excellent movie! Irene Dunne and Melvyn Douglas are a scream in their roles. I can watch that movie over and over again and never get tired of it.
As Stupid 🙄 and cheap scenario , never mind the half Romance...the Direction of the film is so poor on 0 levels, if it wasn't for Boyer I wouldn't bother Watching
Thank you ❤ Charles Boyer is my favorite leading man in old movies ,and I never saw this one ❤❤❤❤❤
Never seen this one before. Thank you.
Irenne Dunne was never more lovely and un forgettable. A kind of heartbreak like no one knows.
OMG These two together again ! Brilliant thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Charles Boyer, such an actor and charmer, like all European actors😊
Another great black and white movie. ❤
Thankyou 🎉

Oh please.... knock it off. He found someone he really loved and wasn't forced to marry for image sake. True love is a rare thing.
Absolutamente de acuerdo, así como la infidelidad mostrada en la aberrante Casablanca ha sido elevada a algo maravilloso.
@@alvaropelayo8084 And from another era-Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre......
@@PK-bh1ww True love is a rare thing. Trying to control it is like trying to control the wind.
But the adultery wasn't justified. If it had been, wouldn't she have gone to Paris with him? They both suffered.

I thought it was sad. Everything about it.
He found a love that wasn't connected to money ,image and obligation.
Moralists in the comments. Don't read until you have finished the movie.
