Listen "Ep 41: Ruth Chatterton in Anybody's Woman (1930)"
Episode Synopsis
This picture boasts a trinity of sass mouth dames: Ruth Chatterton as the star, it was directed by Dorothy Arzner, with a screenplay by Zoe Akins. Chatterton plays a high-stepper who confesses the only man she ever loved was the lawyer who had defended her against public indecency charges, after she danced half-naked in a burlesque. When she winds up married to the lawyer (Clive Brook), it's nothing like the fairy tale she had imagined. Dorothy Arzner made cautionary tales about marriage her business. I close the episode with a brief passage from The Pride of the Peacocks, the novel Ruth Chatterton published in 1954.
