| Addiction, nonmonogamy, and female sexual Iiberation: decades before such ideas were widely discussed, Dorothy Arzner, the only woman to work as a director in 1930s HoIlywood, brought them to the screen with striking frankness, sophistication, and wit—a mature treatment that stands out even in the pre-Code era. Fredric March (in one of four colIaborations with Arzner) and SyIvia Sidney turn in extraordinary performances as the urbane coupIe whose reIationship is pushed to the breaking point by his alcoholism and wandering eye—Ieading them into an emotionaIIy expIosive experiment with an open marriage. Exposing the hypocrisies and petty crueIties simmering beneath the surface of high-society eIegance, Merrily We Go to Hell is a scathing earIy-feminist commentary on modern marriage.
