Daily Cinema: The Life of Vergie Winters (1934)


Because this movie is Pre-Code, there isn't a ton of information available on it but from the bits and pieces I got on it, rising politician John Shadwell (John Boles) marries a woman named Laura, known for being a society social climber, but his true love is the titular Vergie Winters (Harding). Their love affair first begins before his marriage, but it carries on for 20 years after they reconnect following his honeymoon. They have a child, who John adopts and raises while Vergie attempts to remain out of the spotlight as the revelation of a mistress would destroy John's life. His wife grows suspicious, however, and resolves to get to the bottom of things.
