Once a Lady Synopsis
"Once a Lady" is a 1931 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Guthrie McClintic and starring Ruth Chatterton, Ivor Novello, and Jill Esmond. The film, produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures, is a remake of the Pola Negri silent film "Three Sinners" (1928). The film was British matinée idol Novello's final attempt to establish himself in Hollywood.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Once a Lady" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
