Brief Moment (1933)
In the time-old tale of a rich boy falling for a poor girl, Gene Raymond falls for Carole Lombard in Brief Moment, much to his family’s disappointment. He threatens to marry her, and they cut him off and out. They marry, but in a twist, his father still writes him checks on the side.
The meat of this story is the dissolution of the marriage. After the beginning, Gene’s family practically disappears. Gene and Carole learn quickly that love doesn’t conquer all. He drinks and gambles, and Carole’s heart breaks with each ruined night. I’ve seen a lot of these types of movies, and this one isn’t the best. It’s rather stereotypical, boiling down a troubled marriage to a day at the races and too many martinis. But if you like the leads, you can rent it.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. About 15 minutes in, there’s a montage full of spinning images, and that will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"
