BORN TO BAD(1934)
Not a great movie! I'm especially unimpressed with the theme of
the whole thing, a skank woman raising a juvanile delinquent kid
on purpose! Cary does great, but I'm not a fan of child abuse in
any form! Bad movie!! D
From IMDb.com:
This melodrama from 1934 almost works.
Henry Travers, as always, is excellent. Cary Grant does a good
job as a the male lead who is not a star, but who is supposed
to support the acting of the lead. He comes off as thoughtful,
kind and wise.
Loretta Young, however, cannot quite pull off her leading role
as the woman who, kicked around by life, decides to kick back.
Jackie Kelk, as her barely pre-Code bastard son, is simultaneously
whiny and predatory in an oh-gosh-gee-whiz sort of way.
The entire thing has the air of having been cut down to serve
as a second feature: some extra scenes might have been helpful.
Give it a miss unless you want to see what Cary Grant was like
while working his way up the Hollywood star system. - boblipton
