Review of Evelyn Prentice (1934) by Joe S — 10 Nov 2010
Very episodic and overwrought drama with Myrna succumbing to the overacting bug at times and Powell rather stiff. The best performances come from the supporting players, Isabel Jewell as a wronged woman and especially Una Merkel who single handedly saves this from total soap opera with her terrific wisecracking.
Rosalind Russell made her film debut here but is wasted as a devious society harlot. The ending is too precious for words.
