Merrily we go to Hell (1932)

It's an little known fact that women had quite a heyday as directors and writers and even producers back in 1930s Hollywood. This little 1932 gem, Merrily we go to Hell, directed by Dorothy Arzner stars Frederic March and Sylvia Sidney as a newspaper man who is sobered up by an heiress who encourages him to go legit as a writer. Upon his success he falls for another woman and yada yada yada, you've heard the story a thousand times since 1932. A fun highlight: a small part featuring a young Cary Grant acting in a play within the movie. 

Someone (with a silly userId I dont feel like typing here) did a great job of editing the movie to George Michael's Careless Whisper - and it's quite an effective trailer for the film. Take a looksee below....
