Faithless

The great Tallulah Bankhead stars as a giddy heiress who must lose everything in the Great Depression before she can find love--a beautiful socialite who's loveless, shameless and Faithless. Bankhead stars as wealthy Carol Morgan, who spurns the affections of Bill Wade (Robert Montgomery) because he earns a mere $20,000 a year. But when Morgan loses her fortune in the Depression, rather than accepting the man who truly loves her, she becomes the mistress of a still-wealthy, abusive man she does not love. Morgan's life spirals downward, until she finally sinks to selling her body on the streets. But her first "customer" turns out be an understanding policeman who takes her to Wade, who still loves her--and whom Morgan now both appreciates and loves in return. Based on the novel "Tinfoil" by Mildred Cram
