In our fifth film review for Season 3, we cover The Divorcee, which was released on April 30, 1930. Based on the shocking novel Ex-Wife, this film is the epitome of pre-code indulgence. Infidelity, sexual escapades, double-standards, and (perhaps?) sexual liberation. Norma Shearer won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Jerry.
After a brief rundown of sexual politics and divorce law of the 1920s and 30s, we also have some fun baseball history trivia to indulge in!
