Lady by Choice (1934) Starring Carole Lombard and May Robson

Lady by Choice 1934 newspaper ad

Columbia attempts to repeat May Robson’s success in Lady for a Day the following year in Lady by Choice with Carole Lombard. Without Frank Capra or Damon Runyon it’s not as colorful. Production Code enforcement pales it a bit more. Well acted and worth catching despite its flaws.
