Man of the World (1931)
Similar to the same year’s Ladies’ Man, William Powell plays a scoundrel and the object of Carole Lombard’s (his wife at the time) affection. In this one, rather than a gigolo, he plays a professional blackmailer. Carole is the niece of Guy Kibbee, a wealthy but imbecilic man on vacation in Paris. She’s engaged to a suitable, kind, ethical man, but when she’s introduced to Bill, her head gets turned.
This is one of those old movies that make people criticize old movies for being boring. Not much happens in the plot. There’s neither witty banter nor emotional monologues, and the love triangle doesn’t prompt the audience to really prefer one side over the other. It isn’t any of the cast member’s finest hour, so feel free to skip this one and pretend you saw it if anyone asks.
