Sunday, March 12 - Always Goodbye

Always Goodbye (1938)

Barbara Stanwyck is unwed mother Margot Weston, who gives her baby son up for adoption, only to regret it five years later, when she meets Roddy (Johnnie Russell) and then his adopted, widowed father Phillip Marshall (Ian Hunter). She soon becomes a part of their lives, Roddy adores her, and she saves Phillip from what would have been a disastrous second marriage. 

Soon Phillip falls for Margot, and marriage to him would give her back her son, without having to reveal the truth to Phillip. There's just one problem: her heart belongs to Jim Howard (Herbert Marshall), the doctor turned researcher, whose wanderlust kept them apart for five years. Now he's back and ready to settle down, leaving Margot with a difficult choice to make: a life with the man she loves, or a marriage without love that'll give her a life with her son.
