Featured review
She's a dame with a heart of gold....or at least pewter.
"Anybody's Woman" is the sort of woman that should have been better. It took an interesting idea and didn't do enough with it.
The story begins with Neil (Clive Brook) moping after his wife has divorced him for a guy who is even richer than he is. Feeling very sorry for himself, he goes on a bender and marries a woman with a very colorful past! Pansy (Ruth Chatterton) is a stripper who Neil defended in court several years before and he insists that she is an honest woman...unlike his ex-wife! But when he sobers up, Neil is shocked to see what he's done. He wants to do the honorable thing and either pay her off or keep her...but there is no love or tenderness. As for Pansy, she's a tough woman but also one with a lot of good in her down deep. What's to come of them?
The notion of a man marrying beneath him and later discovering that she is actually a great gal could have worked. But too many dull moments and an odd drunk scene that confused everything just prevented the film from gaining much momentum. Not terrible...but also not all that good either.
