Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 26, 2026 Why was the focus on Jerry and not Ted’s cheating? Ted cheated first, but was more upset about Jerry and wanted Jerry to react better to the news he cheated. Ted needed to take accountability for the original cheating. Plus, Jerry felt like she gave up on her marriage, but again, Ted was the cheater.

See more william d @acsdoug Oct 14, 2020 Fair to middling melodrama. The most interesting thing is the subject matter. Not many movies from the '30s deal with adultery, and since The Divorcee is Pre-Code it talks about adultery pretty extensively, albeit somewhat obliquely. See more Jared D @RT74006010 Sep 2, 2020 A very dated tale of the sexual double standard where the double standard wins in the end. Shearer had some memorable scenes as a more "liberated woman" once she is divorced. Despite bring a somewhat risque pre-code film, the filmmakers couldn't bring themselves to close the film with anything but a thrown together sop to the wounded husband's vanity.
