Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Free Soul (1931)

Have I ever enjoyed Norma Shearer? I really don't believe I have and this time is no exception. She's a grown-up daughter who constantly refers to her fall-down-drunk lawyer father as "darling" and starts hooking up with one of his mobster clients (Clark Gable) despite being engaged to a rather decent fellow (Leslie Howard).

There's scandal and threats and murder -- only much more boring than all of that sounds.
