Goodbye Love ~ 1933 -BW

QUICKIE: It's hot potato played with gold-digging, alimony seeking ex-wives.

PLOT: A sexy golddigger lands who she thinks is a wealthy big-game hunter from a royal family. What she doesn't know is that not only is he not wealthy, nor a big-game hunter nor from a royal family, but he's only a butler. Complications ensue as he tries to keep up the pretense. He returns home only to find this same woman marrying his boss. The pair scheme to fix it so he can get out of the marriage without owing her alimony, and also fixing his ex-wife's alimony situation as well.

SUMMARY: Apparently, people in 1930's high society have nothing better to do than marry and divorce each other as some trade stocks on Wall Street. This film could easily annoy any feminist, as women are portrayed as nasty, money hungry ingrates, and no one ever marries for love. The film is mainly about the men trying to get out of their alimony situations, while simultaneously romancing new gold digging floozies. It's silly and scheming, but don't take it too seriously.
