The Easiest Way (1931)
Constance Bennett gives her finest Jean Harlow impersonation in The Easiest Way, a movie that could have easily starred the blonde bombshell. She lives in squalor with her parents and four siblings, so when she’s approached by a stranger in the department store where she works, she’s anxious to snatch up his offer of a higher paying job. Soon she’s working as an advertising model, and her family is glad for the extra income; but when the boss Adolphe Menjou wants her to be his mistress, she faces the prospect of being shunned by her family.
Based on the title, it’s no great guess to assume she accepts Adolphe’s offer. She soon regrets her choice when her entire family cast her aside (except for her father who continues to borrow money) and when she falls in love with the young, foppish, innocent Robert Montgomery. When Bob finds out she’s damaged goods, he rattles off a hilarious pre-Code insult: “I don’t want that kind of love. I can buy that anywhere.” This story is very dated, but if you like these stories, you might want to watch it. You’ll see three familiar faces: Marjorie Rambeau plays Constance’s morally loose friend with bad advice and a bad attitude, Auntie Em (Clara Blandick) plays her mother, and a young, pre-mustached Clark Gable plays her sister’s everyman boyfriend.
