Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGloria Swanson originally consulted Edmund Goulding to help her complete Queen Kelly (1932), the unfinished silent epic she'd started with Erich von Stroheim, but he told her it was old-fashioned and to make a talking picture instead. He wrote the script in conjunction with Swanson and Laura Hope Crews in three weeks at Swanson's home. The movie was in theaters by the end of the year and Swanson recouped enough money to pay off Queen Kelly's backers.
- Quotes
John Merrick, Sr.: Oh, he's nothing but a kid and this woman has swept him off his feet. When the times comes for him to marry, he'll marry to Josh Carton's daughter and he'll like it.

Featured review
The Trespasser review
Swanson looks divine, so she's a lot more believable when pampered by her wealthy boss/lover than down on her luck as a single mum refusing to rely on her even wealthier ex-husband, who is completely unaware they've had a child together. Corny doesn't begin to describe The Trespasser, and the ending is laughable, but Swanson is always worth watching.
