Pathé’s most valuable “asset” when RKO acquired it in 1931, Ann Harding carved out a new career status as a “semi-independent” by leveraging competing offers to strengthen her position with her new bosses, while retaining options to make films outside RKO-Pathé. One of those projects was this powerful and moving melodrama about a successful career woman who gets a second chance to raise the son she had to give up for adoption years before.
