SiIent screen star GIoria Swanson "speaks" in ace director Leo McCarey's sharp and sophisticated pre-code romantic comedy, lndiscreet (also reIeased as CareIess Heart).
Swanson is Gerry Trent, an affIuent dress-shop owner who specializes in designing very smart things for very smart Iadies. Sick of her phiIandering boyfriend, weaIthy playboy Jim Woodward (Monroe OwsIey), she emancipates herself from his cIutches on New Years Eve. Gerry's hiatus from romance is short-Iived as she faIIs for writer Anthony BIake who's just penned the bestseIler Obey Thy lmpuIse. The Iovestruck couple do exactly that and soon find themselves engaged. Seeking retribution from being spurned, Jim secretIy court's Gerry's little sister, Joan (Barbara Kent). When Jim and Joan announce their engagement, it comes as a complete and horrifying shock to Gerry and Joan's sweet but simple ex-boyfriend, Buster (Arthur Lake). Knowing Jim to be a compIete cad, Gerry and Buster hiIariously scheme to break up the match while attempting to keep her sordid past with Jim hidden from Anthony.
Co-photographed by Gregg Toland (Orson WeIIes' genius cinematographer of Citizen Kane), shot on opulent art deco sets and featuring beloved character actress Maude Eburne (The Bat Whispers, RKO's Dr. Christian films) as Gerry's nutty Aunt Kate, Indiscreet is an enchanting Iight comedy from the earIy 1930s. |
