  1. Week-End Marriage (AKA Working Wives) a fine 1932 pre-code film combines comedy and romantic melodrama. Loretta Young has to choose between two men. Takes career vs marriage problems for women seriously. A film that enrages some modern viewers.

  2. In Road To Paradise (1930) Loretta Young is delightful playing dual roles as a wealthy socialite and an orphan with a paranormal ability. Cheerfully pre-code with an indifference to the law. It's OK for pretty girls to break the law. Good fun.

  3. The Truth About Youth (1930), a sex comedy/melodrama with cute as a button Loretta Young as the good girl facing fierce competition for her man from gold digger Myrna Loy (in full-on Sexy Bad Girl mode). Very pre-code and great fun.

  4. “Life Begins” (1932) is one of the many Loretta Young pre-codes airing today on #TCM (10:15am CDT).

    It’s a good film, but for me is more notable for a terrific Glenda Farrell performance in one of her earliest movies in Hollywood. This is the performance that really kicked off her picture career.

  5. I’ve been watching a lot of heavy stuff lately and needed an antidote. Just finished The Doctor Takes a Wife (1940).

    It’s light, frothy fun. I know it’s problematic and dated in some spots. But it’s also surprisingly sharp in others.

    And here’s my #UnpopularOpinion: I think Ray Milland is better suited for this role than Cary Grant, the original choice, would have been.
