This Forbidden Hollywood disc had two Norma Shearer movies The Divorcee and A Free Soul. In The Divorcee Norma Shearer gets a divorce from her husband but ends up still having feelings for the jerk. I didn't like the ending. In A Free Soul Norma Shearer falls for mobster Clark Gable. Lionel Barrymore won the Oscar for his performance of a drunk. He does a very good job. Norma Shearer discovers Clark is a creep, then more things happen including murder. I like Norma Shearer. I feel that Hollywood didn't know what to do later in her career. However this disc represents when she had good material.
