Featured review
Has Anyone Really Changed?
Catherine Dale Owen is wed to one of the richest men in the world. He settles five million pounds on her. And she runs away before the marriage can be consummated, because he's a bearded hunchback who, she says, thinks of nothing but money. He arranges with his secretary and friend Albert Conti for a lot of cash, gets on a plane and jumps.... with a parachute. Next he goes to renowned plastic surgeon Bela Lugosi, and has his spine straightened, his features alerted, and his beard shaved off. Now he is Warner Baxter. He starts cutting a swath in Paris under a new name, whence Miss Owen has gone. Naturally she falls in love with him.
This was Kenneth Hawks' last film. He died in an airplane crash before it was finished shooting, and the movie was released with no director credited. Although there is a good role for Hedda Hopper as Miss Owen's mercenary sister, married contemptuously to Claude Allister, whose uncle refuses to die and leave them wealthy and titled, I found the movie annoying in its idea that it's Baxter who has changed in character, and that has made all the difference.
The copy that I looked at was, like many Fox films of the era, in very poor condition.
