Madame X

Good movie. Made in 1937, before soundtracks. Gladys George delivers a stunning performance as a 'cheatin' wife' who is turned out by her husband, becomes a lush, sorta circles the globe, and winds up back in France as a murderess defended by her son (who has no idea he's defending his own Mum, or, rather, Mahmah). Why she did not go on to have a successful career is a riddle I need to answer for my own satisfaction, at the least.
