Hell is a 1932 Pre-Code film starring Academy Award winning actor
Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney. The film was directed by Dorothy
Arzner. The film's title is an example of the sensationalistic titles
that were common in the Pre-Code era. Many newspapers refused to
publicize the film because of its racy title. March plays a man undone
by alcoholism. The title is a line March's character says in the film
while making a toast. March's character is an adultering husband and
Silvia plays his wife who, when she discovers his adultery, cheats on
him with Cary Grant. Mordaunt Hall, film critic for The New York Times,
gave the film a mixed review upon its release. Hall believed the film
was wildly funny in stretches, and described the acting by the two leads
as "excellent", but Hall felt the scenes where March played intoxicated
went nowhere, and that the script was lacking. |
