An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Merrily We Go to Hell, the 1932 Dorothy Arzner New York City Broadway theater romantic love triangle melodrama (about an alcoholic playwright who is drowning his sorrows over losing his first love, but then he meets a girl who makes him forget that first love, but then the first love returns, and he betrays his wife, but when she betrays him in turn, he realizes he wants her back) starring Sylvia Sidney, Fredric March, Adrianne Allen, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, and George Irving. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.
