Description
The Single Standard 1929:
In the Roaring Twenties the double standard is alive and well: wives stay home playing bridge; husbands party with flappers, then lie about where they've been. Arden Stuart (Greta Garbo) wants something else: freedom, equality, and honesty in love. She tries with her chauffeur first, with tragic results. Then, though her long-time friend Tommy Hewlett (Johnny Mack Brown) repeatedly asks her to marry him, she finds what she's looking for in a spur-of-the-moment encounter with Packy Cannon (Nils Asther), a pugilist turned painter who's sailing off to the South Seas. A few years later, Packy, Tommy, and Arden must sort out love, devotion, and propriety. Can it be done with honesty, or will social standards dictate deceit?
