Hot Saturday

Cary Grant and Nancy Carroll, 1932, Paramount: a small-town Saturday night, a girl accused of a weekend she may not have had, a town that has already decided. William A. Seiter directed. Pre-Code, a heat wave, Randolph Scott in support. It is a gossip picture about a reputation as a local industry, and Carroll as a woman the town will not let be ordinary. Grant is the rich boy. The Saturday is the trial.
