Claudette Colbert weaponizes her broken heart and becomes the hottest mess in 1933.
When she can't support her illegitimate child, an abandoned young woman puts her up for adoption and pursues a career as a torch singer. Years later, she searches for the child she gave up.
Acting
Colbert's transformation from naive mother to hardened diva is devastating.
Costume
Those gowns! Pre-code glamour that screams 'I have secrets and sequins.'
