The richest woman in the world (Ruth Chatterton) has everything money can buy. But with her heart torn between her faithless husband and an ardent writer (George Brent), she can't have the one thing every woman wants: happiness. Herbert Hoover was still President and the Depression was at its most depressing when this delicious wallow in uptown romance hit the Bijou, featuring an electric performance by young Bette Davis as a society girl also enamored of the writer. This wasn't the end of Davis' relationship with Brent. They would make 11 films together, including Jezebel and Dark Victory. It wasn't the end of the Chatterton-Brent relationship, either: the on-screen lovers married soon after the film opened.

When a young wife accustomed to champagne and caviar finds married life means weenies and beans, "The Bride Walks Out." This brisk, engaging comedy asks "Can love conquer all – especially on a $35-a-week budget?" And, of course, through bills and battles, quarrels and quirks, the answer is "yes." Barbara Stanwyck stars as the extravagant, clothes-loving bride and Gene Raymond is her devoted, underpaid groom. Robert Young (TV's beloved Marcus Welby) is the boozy playboy who teaches the bride that luxury is expensive… but love is priceless. With first-rate stars, an endearing theme and a supporting cast full of veteran wisecrackers and wise guys, "The Bride Walks Out" walks in a winner in this "breezy comedy hit" (Richard B. Jewell, THE RKO STORY).

In 1858 France, Lady Christianne leads a group of rebels in Normandy against the rule of Emperor Louis Napoleon. At a secret meeting, she announces that she will use the fabled treasure of Monte Cristo to finance their cause.
