Indiscreet (1931)

In preparing to do an episode of the podcast I'm on about 'Sunset Blvd' it occurred to me I'd only seen Gloria Swanson in three films, in one of which she could be said to be playing herself, and in another she was actually playing herself (the third was a silent with Rudolph Valentino). 'Indiscreet' was free on Prime, it's a love quadrangle and I thought the most interesting thing about it is that co-star Barbara Kent lived to be 103 years old. This is a bad movie, drama-ish, but a segment of a review on its Wikipedia page claimed it was a comedy, well not a funny one. There is one moment however where Swanson's character gives another character a death glare that is downright meme worthy. *
