The Divorcee plot

"Her sin was no greater than his… but she was a woman."

Jerry (Shearer) and Ted (Morris) are young and love each other. They marry, but Jerry's decision to marry Ted devastates Paul (Nagel). Paul turns to alcohol and marries Dorothy. Many years later, Jerry and Ted's marriage breaks down due to infidelity on both sides. Ted sinks into alcoholism and the hapless Jerry runs to Paul, who still loves her. They spend a lot of time together after which Paul decides to divorce his wife.

Tragicomedy about a sophisticated woman who pays back her adulterous husband in the same coin: “(…) I've balanced our accounts.”

The role of the assertive wife is tailor-made for the always somewhat chic Norma Shearer. It earned her an Oscar. For the rest, the acting here and there still bears some traces of the silent film era, but generally speaking, the film has stood the test of time well. One of the better films in this genre from the early 1930s.
