Friday, Nov. 3 - But the Flesh Is Weak

But the Flesh Is Weak (1932)

The Clements father and son live by the generosity of rich women. Max, the son, sets his sites on Lady Joan, who is rich, but down-to-earth and charming. At her house he meets Rosine Brown, an Austrian widow involved with a rich man. Instantly infatuated with her, Max pursues Rosine until she relents and agrees to marry him. But the elder Clement loses 4500 pounds gambling and Max decides he must marry Joan to prevent his father's imprisonment.

Florian and Max Clement, played by Sir C. Aubrey Smith and Robert Montgomery, are a father and son looking for wealthy women to keep them in the style to which they'd like to remain accustomed. Max falls in love with a poor widow, Rosine (Nora Gregor), and pledges to go to work for her, but due to his father's financial crisis, Max ultimately decides he must marry rich Lady Joan (Heather Thatcher) instead. Joan is a wonderful woman who clearly loves Max, BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK and Max can't forget Rosine...
