The Right of Way / The Truth About Youth

Loretta Young shines in this pair of early-career melodramas. Between a wife who's abandoning him and a brother-in-law who's embezzling, slick Quebec lawyer Conrad Nagel is on the verge of losing it all when he's stricken with amnesia. Between the kindness of strangers and the love of postal clerk Young, he carves a new life--for a time--in "The Right of Way." Next, kindly benefactor Conway Tearle hopes to arrange a happy union between housekeeper's daughter Young and wasteful ward David Manners, but gold-digging chanteuse Myrna Loy has other ideas, in "The Truth About Youth." 137 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
