The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, the 1937 Richard Boleslawski, Dorothy Arzner, & George Fitzmaurice romantic love triangle society jewel thieves crime comedy ("The new star-spangled M-G-M sensation!"; "MGM's Star-Spangled Sensations"; "From the play by Frederick Lonsdale"; partially written by Samson Raphaelson, who wrote the very similar "Trouble in Paradise", except with the gender of the lead characters reversed; about a rich American widow who gets involved in English society, and two upper class Englishmen pursue her, but then jewelry starts going missing, and they suspect the widow may not be what she represented herself to be!) starring Joan Crawford (in the title role as Mrs. Fay Cheyney), William Powell, Robert Montgomery, Frank Morgan, Nigel Bruce, and Jessie Ralph. 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.
