Wow! I didn't know they made movies like that in 1932. Definitely not for kids - it's too intense and sophisticated.
I enjoyed the 1932 version better, even though it doesn't have nearly the star power of the 40's version. Watch the 32 version for a sexual and risky film, then watch the star filled second one. You'll probably agree with me. Good bargain having...
