She changes her mind and wins him when she acknowledges her own pride is hindering her happiness. Co-scripted by Aldous Huxley, who garnered his first Hollywood screen credit with the film. He would write only two more screenplays for the studios. Robert Z. Leonard directs for MGM; cast includes Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Marjorie Wood, Maureen O'Sullivan, Ann Rutherford and Edmund Gwenn.
