    There are actually more in the cast, some listed as "uncredited", but the list above is by far most of the cast. Many people acted in this production. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the actors' dogs were represented, as well, but they weren't listed by name or number (that's a joke, people). For a much illuminating meditation on this monstrosity of a production, be sure to read Roger Ebert's review, linked, above, in the title of this post.

    It's hard to find reviews of this film, especially by longstanding, "respectable" and respected film critics. Since I haven't seen the film, even though it's been on my radar forever, I don't have a clue, yet, as to why this is true, but that will be corrected shortly when I add it to my collection. I imagine the fact that it has been, throughout the years, so widely ignored is due to the seemingly muddled position it takes on ethical matters, which would have made it a diffcult film for critics to deal with in 1932 and, surprisingly, now.
    More later.

  Commentary:  This movie is a United States remake of the Swedish film starring Ingrid Bergman, also titled, in the English translation of the original Swedish name, "A Woman's Face". I've ordered both. I'm so curious to see which I like better and how the story was handled by two different directors and actors. I'll be adding that version, above, when I receive it.
    More later. Under construction.
