Crash, The / Registered Nurse: Pre-Code Double Feature

Ruth Chatterton and Bebe Daniels, two of the greatest leading ladies of the Pre-Code era, are the main attraction in this riches to rags "working woman" double bill. Storied director William Dieterle takes the reins in the first picture, directing newlyweds Ruth Chatterton and George Brent. The pair play a married couple who broker wifely favors for inside stock tips. When the market crashes, both must learn a new way to live. And love. Registered Nurse finds Bebe Daniels leaving society dreams behind after her husband cracks up. Returning to the working world, 'Ben' (Daniels) tries to stay loyal to her mentally ill husband while fending off advances and her own temptations working the "night watch." With Lyle Talbot, Sidney Toler, and Beulah Bondi. Directed by Robert Florey.
