Directed by Richard Boleslawski
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
The small-town prudes of Lynnfield are up in arms over ‘The Sinner,’ a sexy best-seller. They little suspect that author ‘Caroline Adams’ is really Theodora Lynn, scion of the town’s leading family. Michael Grant, devil-may-care book jacket illustrator, penetrates Theodora’s incognito and sets out to ‘free her’ from Lynnfield against her will. But Michael has a secret too, and gets a taste of his own medicine.

Viewing Notes
This movie starts out fairly vanilla with the usual trappings of a small town young woman hiding a secret identity of being a rather provocative author under an alias. Meets a man who gets her to break out of her small town cage then this movie takes off in a big way. The second half is so good and makes up for that pedestrian first half. Irene Dunne is simply delightful as she transforms from homely to heartbreaker. Fun movie and decent 35mm print.
