Hitchcock's bitter social (melo)drama about a woman with the stigma of an ignoble past who is left at the mercy of pitiless social conventions is the first film variation on then successful staging of the theatrical play of the same name by Noël Coward, a playwright of sharp observation talent and Wildean wit.
