Desirable
1934
Director: Archie Mayo
Plot Summary: Famous actress Helen Walbridge (Verree Teasdale) gives her lover,
Stuart McAllister, (George Brent)
the key to her apartment intending to meet him there after a party celebrating her latest
success. Stuart finds Helen's daughter, Lois Johnson, (Jean Muir) when he gets there, waiting for her
mother. Lois has been hidden in a school by Helen so it will not be known she has a 19-year-old
daughter, which may interfere with her career. Stuart and Lois become great friends, causing
Helen to become jealous enough to convince Lois she's in love with upper crust society bachelor
Russell Gray(Charles Starrett) when they meet at a party and he proposes. But when Lois meets Russell's family
at their estate she feels totally out of place, and calls Stuart to come and take her home.
The engagement is broken, but Helen resorts to other tactics to try to wrest Lois away from
Stuart.
