Illicit (1931) (original) (raw)

"Married love or illicit: which does the modern girl prefer?" the studio's ad for ILLICIT asks. Barbara Stanwyck portrays a woman who, devoted to her man but not to the norms of her time, prefers cohabitation over marriage. Yet the two marry just the same, leading to jealousies and temptations that could destroy their love. Co-stars include Ricardo Cortez and blonde bundle-of-talent Joan Blondell.
