3.0 out of 5 stars Gloria Swanson in screwball mode, May 14, 2009

By	Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

One of the happiest roles in Gloria Swanson's early talkie career, INDISCREET is directed with flair by Leo McCarey.

Swanson plays fashion designer Geraldine 'Gerry' Trent, who gleefully dumps her philandering boyfriend Jim (Monroe Owsley) on New Years Eve. Several months pass before Gerry is introduced to Anthony Blake (Ben Lyon), the author of her favourite new book, "Obey Thy Impulse". Sparks fly and pretty soon Gerry and Anthony are engaged. Complications arise when Gerry's younger sister Joan (Barbara Kent) returns from her European holiday with a fiancee...none other than Jim! Gerry, a "modern girl with an old-fashioned conscience", is faced with confessing her messy prior relationship to Joan, and decides that she must also reveal Jim's true colours. But just how far will she go to protect her sister?

This fast-paced romantic comedy displays Gloria Swanson in a new light. So many of her silent and early talkie roles cast her as the dramatic tragedienne, so having her in a light piece like INDISCREET is like a breath of fresh air. She even gets to sing! Keep an eye out for Maude Eburne as the comical Aunt Kate.
