Now and Forever (1934), 6+ {nm}

Young freewheeling wanderer Jerry Day and his beautiful wife Toni are at odds over their lifestyle....
(81 mins.) Released 1934-08-31
Director: Henry Hathaway
Stars: Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Guy Standing

Drama | Musical | Romance

(same disc as Little Miss Marker)

This is definitely NOT a musical, hence the "{nm}" in the title of this post. Only 1 number, ST singing in a drawing room, and it's only a portion.

But the movie is entertaining. Stars Cooper and Lombard are eminently watchable, and the story of teetering between good choices and bad has a satisfying (not easy) ending.

Paramount, dir. Hathaway; 6+
