Recently The Divorcée, in general, and Norma Shearer's performance, in particular, have garnered quite a bit of attention from an ever-increasing group of pre-Code devotees. But in order to find anything worthwhile in what, to all extent and purposes, is a rather stolid, and stolidly acted, marital drama, you will have to contend with all the trappings of early talkies -- including rather lah-di-dah "upper class" accents and a soundtrack that tends to drown out the more intimate details. Shearer is alternately delightfully wry and silly but her leading men, with the exception perhaps of a very young Robert Montgomery, make for less than exiting company, especially the charisma-deficient Conrad Nagel, who seems to have popped up in every other Hollywood drama of 1930.
