Private Scandal, the 1934 Ralph Murphy detective murder mystery crime melodrama (one of Zasu Pitts' rare starring roles; she is the secretary to an executive accused of murdering his boss, ...but she must prove that the man actually committed suicide, the reasons for which will embarrass those around him) starring Zasu Pitts, Phillips Holmes, Mary Brian, Ned Sparks, and Lew Cody. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman!
