Thursday, May 19 - Uptown New York

Uptown New York (1932)

Patricia Smith is a middle-class New York City gal in love with Max Silver (Leon Waycoff), but Max is forced by his ambitious Jewish family into a marriage to a girl he doesn't love but will further his career in the medical profession, which he does, leaving Pat behind. Later in Coney Island, Pat meets Eddie, a bubble gum machine operator. Their relationship starts off on the rocky side, but eventually Pat decides to marry Eddie on the rebound even though she's still thinks of Max. When Max, now a respected surgeon, comes back into her life, she refuses to have anything to do with him because he is now a married man. After Pat is struck by a passing truck, Eddie, who knows about Pat's past relationship with Dr. Max Silver, calls on him for help. After surgery, which saves Pat, she must now decide whether to remain with husband Eddie or go back with Max, who is now willing to divorce his wife and remain with her.
