1930 · Feature film · 81 min

Synopsis

In glamorous 1930s New York, Jerry and Ted seem to have the perfect marriage—until Ted’s infidelity shatters everything. Devastated but determined, Jerry divorces him and launches into her own whirlwind of affairs, boldly challenging the era’s double standards on love, loyalty, and revenge. Starring Norma Shearer in her career-defining, Academy Award-winning performance alongside Chester Morris, Conrad Nagel, and Robert Montgomery, this daring pre-Code drama delivers sharp wit, raw emotion, and unapologetic passion that still feels electrifying nearly a century later. Enhanced to 4k with remastered audio. This groundbreaking film was a massive box-office success and earned nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 3rd Academy Awards, with Norma Shearer taking home the Oscar for Best Actress. Directed by Robert Z. Leonard and based on Ursula Parrott’s bestselling novel Ex-Wife, The Divorcee pushed the boundaries of what Hollywood could show before the strict Hays Code took over. Runtime: 84 minutes
