May 1 movie: My Reputation. Barbara Stanwyck stars as a widow who fall in love with a military man (George Brent). She feels happy again for the first time in years, until everyone around her -- friends, her mother, her children -- openly condemn her for being such a slut. Doesn't she know she's supposed to live like a nun for the rest of her life?
It wraps up with a sort of, kind of happy ending, and it wasn't nearly as bad as movies I've seen with similar themes from the early 30s, but mostly this movie was depressing.
