LIFE BEGINS.
(1932)
NOW IN COLOR

Starring
Loretta Young, Eric Linden, Glenda Farrell and a very young Gilbert Roland.

At a maternity hospital, future fathers pace the corridors while their wives wait for their babies either anxiously or happily. Efficient and compassionate nurse Miss Bowers keeps the ward running smoothly. Things liven up when Grace Sutton (Loretta Young) is transferred from the prison where she is being held for murder. Most agree that the man she killed deserved to die, and Nurse Bowers sympathetically allows Grace's concerned husband Jed (Eric Linden) unlimited time with his wife. On the ward, the women have varied feelings about motherhood. Mrs. West, mother of six children, thinks babies are what give meaning to women's lives. In contrast, Florette ( Glenda Farrell), a showgirl, just wants to get rid of her twins as soon as possible.

I found this movie a surprising insight with the attitudes into child birth in the 1930s.

Two Movies on one DVD.
